Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 97,82,171 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 97,82,171 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 844,493,261
29 | 844, 493, 261 |
844, 17, 9 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 29 x 844 x 17 x 9 = 3744828
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3744828
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 97/844,82/493,171/261 is 1/3744828
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 844,493,261 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(844,493,261) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 29
GCF(844,493,261) x common factors =1 x 29 = 29
LCM(844,493,261) = ( 844 × 493 × 261 ) / 29
LCM(844,493,261) = 108600012 / 29
LCM(844,493,261) = 3744828
