Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 530,238,662 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 530,238,662 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 39,37,277
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 399711
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/399711
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 530/39,238/37,662/277 is 2/399711
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 39,37,277 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(39,37,277) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(39,37,277) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(39,37,277) = ( 39 × 37 × 277 ) / 1
LCM(39,37,277) = 399711 / 1
LCM(39,37,277) = 399711
