1,3,9,59,177,531
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 59,42,531 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 59,42,531 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 29,45,694
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 905670
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/905670
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 59/29,42/45,531/694 is 1/905670
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 29,45,694 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(29,45,694) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(29,45,694) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(29,45,694) = ( 29 × 45 × 694 ) / 1
LCM(29,45,694) = 905670 / 1
LCM(29,45,694) = 905670
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
