Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 41,997,871 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 41,997,871 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 59,16,318
2 | 59, 16, 318 |
59, 8, 159 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 59 x 8 x 159 = 150096
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/150096
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 41/59,997/16,871/318 is 1/150096
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 59,16,318 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(59,16,318) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(59,16,318) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(59,16,318) = ( 59 × 16 × 318 ) / 2
LCM(59,16,318) = 300192 / 2
LCM(59,16,318) = 150096
