Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 13,40,873 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 13,40,873 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 285,487,993
3 | 285, 487, 993 |
95, 487, 331 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 95 x 487 x 331 = 45941145
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/45941145
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 13/285,40/487,873/993 is 1/45941145
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 285,487,993 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(285,487,993) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(285,487,993) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(285,487,993) = ( 285 × 487 × 993 ) / 3
LCM(285,487,993) = 137823435 / 3
LCM(285,487,993) = 45941145
