Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 30,12,292 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 30,12,292 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 500,582,897
2 | 500, 582, 897 |
3 | 250, 291, 897 |
250, 97, 299 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 250 x 97 x 299 = 43504500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/43504500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 30/500,12/582,292/897 is 2/43504500
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 500,582,897 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(500,582,897) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(500,582,897) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(500,582,897) = ( 500 × 582 × 897 ) / 6
LCM(500,582,897) = 261027000 / 6
LCM(500,582,897) = 43504500
