So the greatest common factor 22,21,162 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 32,87,960
2 | 32, 87, 960 |
2 | 16, 87, 480 |
2 | 8, 87, 240 |
2 | 4, 87, 120 |
2 | 2, 87, 60 |
3 | 1, 87, 30 |
1, 29, 10 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 1 x 29 x 10 = 27840
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/27840
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 22/32,21/87,162/960 is 1/27840
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 32,87,960 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(32,87,960) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 96
GCF(32,87,960) x common factors =1 x 96 = 96
LCM(32,87,960) = ( 32 × 87 × 960 ) / 96
LCM(32,87,960) = 2672640 / 96
LCM(32,87,960) = 27840
