Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 31,237,358 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 31,237,358 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 661,488,143
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 46127224
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/46127224
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 31/661,237/488,358/143 is 1/46127224
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 661,488,143 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(661,488,143) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(661,488,143) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(661,488,143) = ( 661 × 488 × 143 ) / 1
LCM(661,488,143) = 46127224 / 1
LCM(661,488,143) = 46127224
