Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 85,70,146 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 85,70,146 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 221,385,438
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 37267230
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/37267230
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 85/221,70/385,146/438 is 1/37267230
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 221,385,438 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(221,385,438) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(221,385,438) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(221,385,438) = ( 221 × 385 × 438 ) / 1
LCM(221,385,438) = 37267230 / 1
LCM(221,385,438) = 37267230
