Now, list down the factors of 94
:1,2,47,94
Now, list down the factors of 160
:1,2,4,5,8,10,16,20,32,40,80,160
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 36,94,160 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 36,94,160 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 73,96,135
3 | 73, 96, 135 |
73, 32, 45 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 73 x 32 x 45 = 315360
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/315360
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/73,94/96,160/135 is 2/315360
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 73,96,135 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,96,135) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(73,96,135) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(73,96,135) = ( 73 × 96 × 135 ) / 3
LCM(73,96,135) = 946080 / 3
LCM(73,96,135) = 315360
