Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 72,36,924 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 72,36,924 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 25,83,423
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 877725
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/877725
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 72/25,36/83,924/423 is 12/877725
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 25,83,423 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(25,83,423) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(25,83,423) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(25,83,423) = ( 25 × 83 × 423 ) / 1
LCM(25,83,423) = 877725 / 1
LCM(25,83,423) = 877725
