Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 23,851,736 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 23,851,736 is 23.
Lets's calculate LCM of 43,21,701
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 633003
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 23/633003
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 23/43,851/21,736/701 is 23/633003
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 43,21,701 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(43,21,701) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(43,21,701) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(43,21,701) = ( 43 × 21 × 701 ) / 1
LCM(43,21,701) = 633003 / 1
LCM(43,21,701) = 633003
