Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 992,100,246 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 992,100,246 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 43,91,726
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2840838
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2840838
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 992/43,100/91,246/726 is 2/2840838
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 43,91,726 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(43,91,726) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(43,91,726) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(43,91,726) = ( 43 × 91 × 726 ) / 1
LCM(43,91,726) = 2840838 / 1
LCM(43,91,726) = 2840838
