:1,2,3,5,6,9,10,15,18,27,30,45,54,90,135,270
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 10,20,270 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 10,20,270 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 550,527,169
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 48984650
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/48984650
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 10/550,20/527,270/169 is 10/48984650
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 550,527,169 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(550,527,169) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(550,527,169) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(550,527,169) = ( 550 × 527 × 169 ) / 1
LCM(550,527,169) = 48984650 / 1
LCM(550,527,169) = 48984650
