Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 47,971,298 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 47,971,298 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,31,849
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1052760
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1052760
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 47/40,971/31,298/849 is 1/1052760
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 40,31,849 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,31,849) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,31,849) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(40,31,849) = ( 40 × 31 × 849 ) / 1
LCM(40,31,849) = 1052760 / 1
LCM(40,31,849) = 1052760
