Lets's calculate GCF of 40,25,160
5 | 40, 25, 160 |
8, 5, 32 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5
Now, list down the factors of 40
:1,2,4,5,8,10,20,40
Now, list down the factors of 25
:1,5,25
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 40,25,160 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 40,25,160 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 68,77,749
7 | 68, 77, 749 |
68, 11, 107 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 68 x 11 x 107 = 560252
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/560252
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 40/68,25/77,160/749 is 5/560252
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 68,77,749 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(68,77,749) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 7
GCF(68,77,749) x common factors =1 x 7 = 7
LCM(68,77,749) = ( 68 × 77 × 749 ) / 7
LCM(68,77,749) = 3921764 / 7
LCM(68,77,749) = 560252
