1,2,4,53,106,212
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 85,708,212 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 85,708,212 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,72,727
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2146104
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2146104
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 85/41,708/72,212/727 is 1/2146104
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 41,72,727 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,72,727) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(41,72,727) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(41,72,727) = ( 41 × 72 × 727 ) / 1
LCM(41,72,727) = 2146104 / 1
LCM(41,72,727) = 2146104
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
