Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 971,561,251 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 971,561,251 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 878,603,923
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 488667582
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/488667582
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 971/878,561/603,251/923 is 1/488667582
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 878,603,923 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(878,603,923) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(878,603,923) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(878,603,923) = ( 878 × 603 × 923 ) / 1
LCM(878,603,923) = 488667582 / 1
LCM(878,603,923) = 488667582
