:1,2,5,10,23,46,115,230
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 241,156,230 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 241,156,230 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 71,32,12
2 | 71, 32, 12 |
2 | 71, 16, 6 |
71, 8, 3 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 71 x 8 x 3 = 6816
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6816
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 241/71,156/32,230/12 is 1/6816
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 71,32,12 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(71,32,12) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(71,32,12) x common factors =1 x 4 = 4
LCM(71,32,12) = ( 71 × 32 × 12 ) / 4
LCM(71,32,12) = 27264 / 4
LCM(71,32,12) = 6816
