Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 844,172,154 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 844,172,154 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 173,587,712
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 72304312
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/72304312
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 844/173,172/587,154/712 is 2/72304312
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 173,587,712 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(173,587,712) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(173,587,712) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(173,587,712) = ( 173 × 587 × 712 ) / 1
LCM(173,587,712) = 72304312 / 1
LCM(173,587,712) = 72304312
