Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 624,608,960 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 624,608,960 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 73,87,185
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1174935
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/1174935
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 624/73,608/87,960/185 is 16/1174935
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 73,87,185 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,87,185) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(73,87,185) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(73,87,185) = ( 73 × 87 × 185 ) / 1
LCM(73,87,185) = 1174935 / 1
LCM(73,87,185) = 1174935
