Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 58,166,161 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 58,166,161 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,97,487
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3401208
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3401208
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 58/72,166/97,161/487 is 1/3401208
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 72,97,487 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,97,487) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,97,487) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(72,97,487) = ( 72 × 97 × 487 ) / 1
LCM(72,97,487) = 3401208 / 1
LCM(72,97,487) = 3401208
