Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 405,942,677 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 405,942,677 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 57,37,242
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 510378
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/510378
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 405/57,942/37,677/242 is 1/510378
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 57,37,242 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(57,37,242) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(57,37,242) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(57,37,242) = ( 57 × 37 × 242 ) / 1
LCM(57,37,242) = 510378 / 1
LCM(57,37,242) = 510378
