Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 36,317,173 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 36,317,173 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 65,32,135
5 | 65, 32, 135 |
13, 32, 27 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 13 x 32 x 27 = 56160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/56160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/65,317/32,173/135 is 1/56160
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 65,32,135 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(65,32,135) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 5
GCF(65,32,135) x common factors =1 x 5 = 5
LCM(65,32,135) = ( 65 × 32 × 135 ) / 5
LCM(65,32,135) = 280800 / 5
LCM(65,32,135) = 56160
