Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 13,20,312 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 13,20,312 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 936,260,118
2 | 936, 260, 118 |
2 | 468, 130, 59 |
13 | 234, 65, 59 |
18, 5, 59 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 13 x 18 x 5 x 59 = 276120
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/276120
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 13/936,20/260,312/118 is 1/276120
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 936,260,118 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(936,260,118) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 52
GCF(936,260,118) x common factors =2 x 52 = 104
LCM(936,260,118) = ( 936 × 260 × 118 ) / 104
LCM(936,260,118) = 28716480 / 104
LCM(936,260,118) = 276120
