Lets's calculate GCF of 15,21,33
3 | 15, 21, 33 |
5, 7, 11 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 15
:1,3,5,15
Now, list down the factors of 21
:1,3,7,21
Now, list down the factors of 33
:1,3,11,33
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 15,21,33 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 15,21,33 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 24,21,692
2 | 24, 21, 692 |
2 | 12, 21, 346 |
3 | 6, 21, 173 |
2, 7, 173 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 2 x 7 x 173 = 29064
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/29064
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 15/24,21/21,33/692 is 3/29064
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 24,21,692 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(24,21,692) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 12
GCF(24,21,692) x common factors =1 x 12 = 12
LCM(24,21,692) = ( 24 × 21 × 692 ) / 12
LCM(24,21,692) = 348768 / 12
LCM(24,21,692) = 29064
