Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 38,157,673 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 38,157,673 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 57,29,179
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 295887
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/295887
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 38/57,157/29,673/179 is 1/295887
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 57,29,179 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(57,29,179) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(57,29,179) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(57,29,179) = ( 57 × 29 × 179 ) / 1
LCM(57,29,179) = 295887 / 1
LCM(57,29,179) = 295887
