Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 24,40,534 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 24,40,534 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 27,30,79
3 | 27, 30, 79 |
9, 10, 79 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 9 x 10 x 79 = 21330
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/21330
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 24/27,40/30,534/79 is 2/21330
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 27,30,79 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(27,30,79) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(27,30,79) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(27,30,79) = ( 27 × 30 × 79 ) / 3
LCM(27,30,79) = 63990 / 3
LCM(27,30,79) = 21330
