Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 86,148,502 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 86,148,502 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,23,291
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 267720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/267720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 86/40,148/23,502/291 is 2/267720
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 40,23,291 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,23,291) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,23,291) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(40,23,291) = ( 40 × 23 × 291 ) / 1
LCM(40,23,291) = 267720 / 1
LCM(40,23,291) = 267720
