Lets's calculate GCF of 37,88,37
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 37
:1,37
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 37,88,37 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 37,88,37 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 32,43,30
2 | 32, 43, 30 |
16, 43, 15 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 16 x 43 x 15 = 20640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/20640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 37/32,88/43,37/30 is 1/20640
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 32,43,30 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(32,43,30) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(32,43,30) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(32,43,30) = ( 32 × 43 × 30 ) / 2
LCM(32,43,30) = 41280 / 2
LCM(32,43,30) = 20640
