Now, list down the factors of 440
:1,2,4,5,8,10,11,20,22,40,44,55,88,110,220,440
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 137,124,440 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 137,124,440 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 50,57,18
2 | 50, 57, 18 |
3 | 25, 57, 9 |
25, 19, 3 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 25 x 19 x 3 = 8550
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/8550
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 137/50,124/57,440/18 is 1/8550
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 50,57,18 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(50,57,18) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(50,57,18) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(50,57,18) = ( 50 × 57 × 18 ) / 6
LCM(50,57,18) = 51300 / 6
LCM(50,57,18) = 8550
