:1,3
Now, list down the factors of 88
:1,2,4,8,11,22,44,88
Now, list down the factors of 37
:1,37
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3,88,37 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3,88,37 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 66,681,168
2 | 66, 681, 168 |
3 | 33, 681, 84 |
11, 227, 28 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 11 x 227 x 28 = 419496
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/419496
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3/66,88/681,37/168 is 1/419496
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 66,681,168 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(66,681,168) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(66,681,168) x common factors =3 x 6 = 18
LCM(66,681,168) = ( 66 × 681 × 168 ) / 18
LCM(66,681,168) = 7550928 / 18
LCM(66,681,168) = 419496
