Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 20,10,512 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 20,10,512 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 250,718,260
2 | 250, 718, 260 |
5 | 125, 359, 130 |
25, 359, 26 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 25 x 359 x 26 = 2333500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2333500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 20/250,10/718,512/260 is 2/2333500
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 250,718,260 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(250,718,260) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 10
GCF(250,718,260) x common factors =2 x 10 = 20
LCM(250,718,260) = ( 250 × 718 × 260 ) / 20
LCM(250,718,260) = 46670000 / 20
LCM(250,718,260) = 2333500
