So the greatest common factor 36,32,833 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 480,120,625
2 | 480, 120, 625 |
2 | 240, 60, 625 |
2 | 120, 30, 625 |
3 | 60, 15, 625 |
5 | 20, 5, 625 |
4, 1, 125 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 4 x 1 x 125 = 60000
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/60000
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/480,32/120,833/625 is 1/60000
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 480,120,625 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(480,120,625) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 120
GCF(480,120,625) x common factors =5 x 120 = 600
LCM(480,120,625) = ( 480 × 120 × 625 ) / 600
LCM(480,120,625) = 36000000 / 600
LCM(480,120,625) = 60000
