Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 37,72,63 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 37,72,63 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 59,47,491
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1361543
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1361543
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 37/59,72/47,63/491 is 1/1361543
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 59,47,491 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(59,47,491) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(59,47,491) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(59,47,491) = ( 59 × 47 × 491 ) / 1
LCM(59,47,491) = 1361543 / 1
LCM(59,47,491) = 1361543
