Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2,72,76 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2,72,76 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 77,531,919
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 37575153
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/37575153
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2/77,72/531,76/919 is 2/37575153
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 77,531,919 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(77,531,919) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(77,531,919) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(77,531,919) = ( 77 × 531 × 919 ) / 1
LCM(77,531,919) = 37575153 / 1
LCM(77,531,919) = 37575153
