:1,2,7,14,49,98,343,686
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 60,72,686 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 60,72,686 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 59,79,405
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1887705
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1887705
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 60/59,72/79,686/405 is 2/1887705
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 59,79,405 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(59,79,405) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(59,79,405) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(59,79,405) = ( 59 × 79 × 405 ) / 1
LCM(59,79,405) = 1887705 / 1
LCM(59,79,405) = 1887705
