Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 536,794,950 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 536,794,950 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 17,49,281
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 234073
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/234073
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 536/17,794/49,950/281 is 2/234073
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 17,49,281 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(17,49,281) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(17,49,281) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(17,49,281) = ( 17 × 49 × 281 ) / 1
LCM(17,49,281) = 234073 / 1
LCM(17,49,281) = 234073
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
