Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 94,842,588 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 94,842,588 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 68,61,421
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1746308
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1746308
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 94/68,842/61,588/421 is 2/1746308
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 68,61,421 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(68,61,421) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(68,61,421) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(68,61,421) = ( 68 × 61 × 421 ) / 1
LCM(68,61,421) = 1746308 / 1
LCM(68,61,421) = 1746308
