Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 984,986,142 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 984,986,142 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 52,21,961
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1049412
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1049412
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 984/52,986/21,142/961 is 2/1049412
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 52,21,961 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(52,21,961) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(52,21,961) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(52,21,961) = ( 52 × 21 × 961 ) / 1
LCM(52,21,961) = 1049412 / 1
LCM(52,21,961) = 1049412
