Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 55,872,431 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 55,872,431 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 241,783,212
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 40005036
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/40005036
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 55/241,872/783,431/212 is 1/40005036
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 241,783,212 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(241,783,212) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(241,783,212) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(241,783,212) = ( 241 × 783 × 212 ) / 1
LCM(241,783,212) = 40005036 / 1
LCM(241,783,212) = 40005036
