Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 531,486,621 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 531,486,621 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 137,775,157
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 16669475
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/16669475
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 531/137,486/775,621/157 is 9/16669475
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 137,775,157 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(137,775,157) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(137,775,157) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(137,775,157) = ( 137 × 775 × 157 ) / 1
LCM(137,775,157) = 16669475 / 1
LCM(137,775,157) = 16669475
