Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 87,990,447 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 87,990,447 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 74,29,263
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 564398
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/564398
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 87/74,990/29,447/263 is 3/564398
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 74,29,263 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(74,29,263) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(74,29,263) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(74,29,263) = ( 74 × 29 × 263 ) / 1
LCM(74,29,263) = 564398 / 1
LCM(74,29,263) = 564398
