Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 28,356,962 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 28,356,962 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 79,83,856
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5612792
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/5612792
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 28/79,356/83,962/856 is 2/5612792
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 79,83,856 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(79,83,856) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(79,83,856) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(79,83,856) = ( 79 × 83 × 856 ) / 1
LCM(79,83,856) = 5612792 / 1
LCM(79,83,856) = 5612792
