Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 642,150,946 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 642,150,946 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 241,878,277
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 58612646
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/58612646
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 642/241,150/878,946/277 is 2/58612646
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 241,878,277 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(241,878,277) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(241,878,277) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(241,878,277) = ( 241 × 878 × 277 ) / 1
LCM(241,878,277) = 58612646 / 1
LCM(241,878,277) = 58612646
