Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 558,294,240 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 558,294,240 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 45,52,353
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 826020
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/826020
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 558/45,294/52,240/353 is 6/826020
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 45,52,353 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(45,52,353) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(45,52,353) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(45,52,353) = ( 45 × 52 × 353 ) / 1
LCM(45,52,353) = 826020 / 1
LCM(45,52,353) = 826020
