Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 968,950,542 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 968,950,542 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 95,21,709
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1414455
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1414455
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 968/95,950/21,542/709 is 2/1414455
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 95,21,709 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(95,21,709) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(95,21,709) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(95,21,709) = ( 95 × 21 × 709 ) / 1
LCM(95,21,709) = 1414455 / 1
LCM(95,21,709) = 1414455
