:1,2,3,6,7,9,14,18,21,27,42,54,63,126,189,378
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 20,128,378 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 20,128,378 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,34,290
2 | 36, 34, 290 |
18, 17, 145 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 18 x 17 x 145 = 88740
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/88740
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 20/36,128/34,378/290 is 2/88740
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 36,34,290 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,34,290) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(36,34,290) x common factors =2 x 2 = 4
LCM(36,34,290) = ( 36 × 34 × 290 ) / 4
LCM(36,34,290) = 354960 / 4
LCM(36,34,290) = 88740
