So the greatest common factor 21,66,854 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 180,280,280
2 | 180, 280, 280 |
2 | 90, 140, 140 |
2 | 45, 70, 70 |
5 | 45, 35, 35 |
7 | 9, 7, 7 |
9, 1, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 7 x 9 x 1 x 1 = 2520
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2520
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 21/180,66/280,854/280 is 1/2520
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 180,280,280 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(180,280,280) = 20
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 280
GCF(180,280,280) x common factors =20 x 280 = 5600
LCM(180,280,280) = ( 180 × 280 × 280 ) / 5600
LCM(180,280,280) = 14112000 / 5600
LCM(180,280,280) = 2520
