Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 21,55,862 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 21,55,862 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 633,211,721
211 | 633, 211, 721 |
3, 1, 721 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 211 x 3 x 1 x 721 = 456393
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/456393
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 21/633,55/211,862/721 is 1/456393
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 633,211,721 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(633,211,721) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 211
GCF(633,211,721) x common factors =1 x 211 = 211
LCM(633,211,721) = ( 633 × 211 × 721 ) / 211
LCM(633,211,721) = 96298923 / 211
LCM(633,211,721) = 456393
