Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 16,538,474 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 16,538,474 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 60,60,768
2 | 60, 60, 768 |
2 | 30, 30, 384 |
3 | 15, 15, 192 |
5 | 5, 5, 64 |
1, 1, 64 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 1 x 1 x 64 = 3840
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3840
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 16/60,538/60,474/768 is 2/3840
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 60,60,768 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(60,60,768) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 60
GCF(60,60,768) x common factors =12 x 60 = 720
LCM(60,60,768) = ( 60 × 60 × 768 ) / 720
LCM(60,60,768) = 2764800 / 720
LCM(60,60,768) = 3840
