Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 71,172,852 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 71,172,852 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 85,37,267
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 839715
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/839715
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 71/85,172/37,852/267 is 1/839715
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 85,37,267 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(85,37,267) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(85,37,267) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(85,37,267) = ( 85 × 37 × 267 ) / 1
LCM(85,37,267) = 839715 / 1
LCM(85,37,267) = 839715
