:1,359
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 17,281,359 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 17,281,359 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 85,25,517
5 | 85, 25, 517 |
17, 5, 517 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 17 x 5 x 517 = 219725
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/219725
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 17/85,281/25,359/517 is 1/219725
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 85,25,517 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(85,25,517) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 5
GCF(85,25,517) x common factors =1 x 5 = 5
LCM(85,25,517) = ( 85 × 25 × 517 ) / 5
LCM(85,25,517) = 1098625 / 5
LCM(85,25,517) = 219725
