Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 549,981,441 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 549,981,441 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 97,72,491
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3429144
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/3429144
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 549/97,981/72,441/491 is 9/3429144
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 97,72,491 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(97,72,491) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(97,72,491) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(97,72,491) = ( 97 × 72 × 491 ) / 1
LCM(97,72,491) = 3429144 / 1
LCM(97,72,491) = 3429144
