We found the factors 856,782,940 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 856,782,940 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 260,339,851
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 75007140
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/75007140
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 856/260,782/339,940/851 is 2/75007140
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 260,339,851 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(260,339,851) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(260,339,851) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(260,339,851) = ( 260 × 339 × 851 ) / 1
LCM(260,339,851) = 75007140 / 1
LCM(260,339,851) = 75007140
