Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 537,840,460 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 537,840,460 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,31,575
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 641700
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/641700
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 537/36,840/31,460/575 is 1/641700
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 36,31,575 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,31,575) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(36,31,575) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(36,31,575) = ( 36 × 31 × 575 ) / 1
LCM(36,31,575) = 641700 / 1
LCM(36,31,575) = 641700
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
