Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 49,72,257 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 49,72,257 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 262,101,225
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5953950
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5953950
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 49/262,72/101,257/225 is 1/5953950
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 262,101,225 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(262,101,225) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(262,101,225) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(262,101,225) = ( 262 × 101 × 225 ) / 1
LCM(262,101,225) = 5953950 / 1
LCM(262,101,225) = 5953950
