Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 47,16,252 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 47,16,252 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 900,498,250
2 | 900, 498, 250 |
3 | 450, 249, 125 |
5 | 150, 83, 125 |
5 | 30, 83, 25 |
6, 83, 5 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 5 x 5 x 6 x 83 x 5 = 373500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/373500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 47/900,16/498,252/250 is 1/373500
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 900,498,250 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(900,498,250) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 150
GCF(900,498,250) x common factors =2 x 150 = 300
LCM(900,498,250) = ( 900 × 498 × 250 ) / 300
LCM(900,498,250) = 112050000 / 300
LCM(900,498,250) = 373500
