:1,2,3,4,6,12
Now, list down the factors of 597
:1,3,199,597
Now, list down the factors of 210
:1,2,3,5,6,7,10,14,15,21,30,35,42,70,105,210
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 12,597,210 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 12,597,210 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 71,12,915
3 | 71, 12, 915 |
71, 4, 305 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 71 x 4 x 305 = 259860
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/259860
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 12/71,597/12,210/915 is 3/259860
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 71,12,915 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(71,12,915) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(71,12,915) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(71,12,915) = ( 71 × 12 × 915 ) / 3
LCM(71,12,915) = 779580 / 3
LCM(71,12,915) = 259860
