Now, list down the factors of 5
:1,5
Now, list down the factors of 84
:1,2,3,4,6,7,12,14,21,28,42,84
Now, list down the factors of 16
:1,2,4,8,16
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5,84,16 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5,84,16 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 32,867,977
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 27105888
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/27105888
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5/32,84/867,16/977 is 1/27105888
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 32,867,977 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(32,867,977) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(32,867,977) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(32,867,977) = ( 32 × 867 × 977 ) / 1
LCM(32,867,977) = 27105888 / 1
LCM(32,867,977) = 27105888
