:1,2,4,5,10,20,25,50,100
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 40,670,100 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 40,670,100 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 25,29,987
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 715575
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/715575
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 40/25,670/29,100/987 is 10/715575
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 25,29,987 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(25,29,987) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(25,29,987) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(25,29,987) = ( 25 × 29 × 987 ) / 1
LCM(25,29,987) = 715575 / 1
LCM(25,29,987) = 715575
