Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 49,983,359 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 49,983,359 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 73,42,661
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2026626
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2026626
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 49/73,983/42,359/661 is 1/2026626
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 73,42,661 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,42,661) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(73,42,661) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(73,42,661) = ( 73 × 42 × 661 ) / 1
LCM(73,42,661) = 2026626 / 1
LCM(73,42,661) = 2026626
