Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 36,73,865 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 36,73,865 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 81,62,287
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1441314
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1441314
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/81,73/62,865/287 is 1/1441314
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 81,62,287 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(81,62,287) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(81,62,287) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(81,62,287) = ( 81 × 62 × 287 ) / 1
LCM(81,62,287) = 1441314 / 1
LCM(81,62,287) = 1441314
