Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 48,856,159 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 48,856,159 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 33,47,409
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 634359
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/634359
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 48/33,856/47,159/409 is 1/634359
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 33,47,409 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(33,47,409) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(33,47,409) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(33,47,409) = ( 33 × 47 × 409 ) / 1
LCM(33,47,409) = 634359 / 1
LCM(33,47,409) = 634359
