Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 38,237,116 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 38,237,116 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 69,20,727
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1003260
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1003260
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 38/69,237/20,116/727 is 1/1003260
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 69,20,727 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(69,20,727) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(69,20,727) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(69,20,727) = ( 69 × 20 × 727 ) / 1
LCM(69,20,727) = 1003260 / 1
LCM(69,20,727) = 1003260
