Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 78,63,900 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 78,63,900 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 59,501,986
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 29145174
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/29145174
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 78/59,63/501,900/986 is 3/29145174
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 59,501,986 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(59,501,986) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(59,501,986) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(59,501,986) = ( 59 × 501 × 986 ) / 1
LCM(59,501,986) = 29145174 / 1
LCM(59,501,986) = 29145174
