Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 99,490,137 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 99,490,137 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 44,73,261
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 838332
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/838332
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 99/44,490/73,137/261 is 1/838332
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 44,73,261 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(44,73,261) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(44,73,261) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(44,73,261) = ( 44 × 73 × 261 ) / 1
LCM(44,73,261) = 838332 / 1
LCM(44,73,261) = 838332
