Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 74,52,436 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 74,52,436 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 17,201,287
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 980679
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/980679
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 74/17,52/201,436/287 is 2/980679
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 17,201,287 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(17,201,287) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(17,201,287) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(17,201,287) = ( 17 × 201 × 287 ) / 1
LCM(17,201,287) = 980679 / 1
LCM(17,201,287) = 980679
