Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 22,982,240 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 22,982,240 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 78,40,805
2 | 78, 40, 805 |
5 | 39, 20, 805 |
39, 4, 161 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 39 x 4 x 161 = 251160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/251160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 22/78,982/40,240/805 is 2/251160
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 78,40,805 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,40,805) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 10
GCF(78,40,805) x common factors =1 x 10 = 10
LCM(78,40,805) = ( 78 × 40 × 805 ) / 10
LCM(78,40,805) = 2511600 / 10
LCM(78,40,805) = 251160
