Now, list down the factors of 20
:1,2,4,5,10,20
Now, list down the factors of 505
:1,5,101,505
Now, list down the factors of 877
:1,877
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 20,505,877 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 20,505,877 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 51,47,272
17 | 51, 47, 272 |
3, 47, 16 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 17 x 3 x 47 x 16 = 38352
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/38352
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 20/51,505/47,877/272 is 1/38352
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 51,47,272 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(51,47,272) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 17
GCF(51,47,272) x common factors =1 x 17 = 17
LCM(51,47,272) = ( 51 × 47 × 272 ) / 17
LCM(51,47,272) = 651984 / 17
LCM(51,47,272) = 38352
