Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 59,502,564 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 59,502,564 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 279,131,506
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 18493794
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/18493794
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 59/279,502/131,564/506 is 1/18493794
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 279,131,506 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(279,131,506) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(279,131,506) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(279,131,506) = ( 279 × 131 × 506 ) / 1
LCM(279,131,506) = 18493794 / 1
LCM(279,131,506) = 18493794
