The HCF of 23,68,72 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 23,68,72
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 23
:1,23
Now, list down the factors of 68
:1,2,4,17,34,68
Now, list down the factors of 72
:1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,18,24,36,72
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 23,68,72 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 23,68,72 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 62,14,273
2 | 62, 14, 273 |
7 | 31, 7, 273 |
31, 1, 39 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 31 x 1 x 39 = 16926
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/16926
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 23/62,68/14,72/273 is 1/16926
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 62,14,273 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(62,14,273) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 14
GCF(62,14,273) x common factors =1 x 14 = 14
LCM(62,14,273) = ( 62 × 14 × 273 ) / 14
LCM(62,14,273) = 236964 / 14
LCM(62,14,273) = 16926
