So the greatest common factor 46,21,295 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 450,157,255
3 | 450, 157, 255 |
5 | 150, 157, 85 |
30, 157, 17 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 5 x 30 x 157 x 17 = 1201050
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1201050
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 46/450,21/157,295/255 is 1/1201050
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 450,157,255 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(450,157,255) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 15
GCF(450,157,255) x common factors =1 x 15 = 15
LCM(450,157,255) = ( 450 × 157 × 255 ) / 15
LCM(450,157,255) = 18015750 / 15
LCM(450,157,255) = 1201050
