Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 327,516,743 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 327,516,743 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,40,17
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 25160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/25160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 327/37,516/40,743/17 is 1/25160
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 37,40,17 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,40,17) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(37,40,17) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(37,40,17) = ( 37 × 40 × 17 ) / 1
LCM(37,40,17) = 25160 / 1
LCM(37,40,17) = 25160
