Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 71,72,391 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 71,72,391 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 98,571,211
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 11807138
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/11807138
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 71/98,72/571,391/211 is 1/11807138
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 98,571,211 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(98,571,211) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(98,571,211) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(98,571,211) = ( 98 × 571 × 211 ) / 1
LCM(98,571,211) = 11807138 / 1
LCM(98,571,211) = 11807138
