Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 40,37,711 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 40,37,711 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 439,280,452
2 | 439, 280, 452 |
2 | 439, 140, 226 |
439, 70, 113 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 439 x 70 x 113 = 13889960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/13889960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 40/439,37/280,711/452 is 1/13889960
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 439,280,452 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(439,280,452) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(439,280,452) x common factors =1 x 4 = 4
LCM(439,280,452) = ( 439 × 280 × 452 ) / 4
LCM(439,280,452) = 55559840 / 4
LCM(439,280,452) = 13889960
