:1,2,4,5,10,20,43,86,172,215,430,860
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 19,959,860 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 19,959,860 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,20,653
2 | 72, 20, 653 |
2 | 36, 10, 653 |
18, 5, 653 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 18 x 5 x 653 = 235080
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/235080
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 19/72,959/20,860/653 is 1/235080
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 72,20,653 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,20,653) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(72,20,653) x common factors =1 x 4 = 4
LCM(72,20,653) = ( 72 × 20 × 653 ) / 4
LCM(72,20,653) = 940320 / 4
LCM(72,20,653) = 235080
