Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 553,721,597 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 553,721,597 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 71,23,972
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1587276
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1587276
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 553/71,721/23,597/972 is 1/1587276
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 71,23,972 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(71,23,972) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(71,23,972) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(71,23,972) = ( 71 × 23 × 972 ) / 1
LCM(71,23,972) = 1587276 / 1
LCM(71,23,972) = 1587276
