Lets's calculate GCF of 43,38,149
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 43
:1,43
Now, list down the factors of 38
:1,2,19,38
Now, list down the factors of 149
:1,149
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 43,38,149 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 43,38,149 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 45,72,32
2 | 45, 72, 32 |
2 | 45, 36, 16 |
2 | 45, 18, 8 |
3 | 45, 9, 4 |
3 | 15, 3, 4 |
5, 1, 4 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 1 x 4 = 1440
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1440
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 43/45,38/72,149/32 is 1/1440
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 45,72,32 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(45,72,32) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 72
GCF(45,72,32) x common factors =1 x 72 = 72
LCM(45,72,32) = ( 45 × 72 × 32 ) / 72
LCM(45,72,32) = 103680 / 72
LCM(45,72,32) = 1440
