Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 962,249,178 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 962,249,178 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 47,49,342
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 787626
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/787626
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 962/47,249/49,178/342 is 1/787626
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 47,49,342 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(47,49,342) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(47,49,342) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(47,49,342) = ( 47 × 49 × 342 ) / 1
LCM(47,49,342) = 787626 / 1
LCM(47,49,342) = 787626
