1,2,4,31,62,124
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 72,731,124 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 72,731,124 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 98,41,563
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2262134
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2262134
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 72/98,731/41,124/563 is 1/2262134
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 98,41,563 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(98,41,563) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(98,41,563) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(98,41,563) = ( 98 × 41 × 563 ) / 1
LCM(98,41,563) = 2262134 / 1
LCM(98,41,563) = 2262134
