:1,2,4,8,16,31,32,62,124,248,496,992
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 57,26,992 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 57,26,992 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 97,78,31
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 234546
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/234546
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 57/97,26/78,992/31 is 1/234546
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 97,78,31 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(97,78,31) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(97,78,31) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(97,78,31) = ( 97 × 78 × 31 ) / 1
LCM(97,78,31) = 234546 / 1
LCM(97,78,31) = 234546
