1,7,17,119
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 59,42,119 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 59,42,119 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 173,209,903
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 32649771
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/32649771
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 59/173,42/209,119/903 is 1/32649771
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 173,209,903 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(173,209,903) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(173,209,903) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(173,209,903) = ( 173 × 209 × 903 ) / 1
LCM(173,209,903) = 32649771 / 1
LCM(173,209,903) = 32649771
