Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 78,288,501 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 78,288,501 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 53,13,932
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 642148
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/642148
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 78/53,288/13,501/932 is 3/642148
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 53,13,932 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(53,13,932) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(53,13,932) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(53,13,932) = ( 53 × 13 × 932 ) / 1
LCM(53,13,932) = 642148 / 1
LCM(53,13,932) = 642148
