Lets's calculate GCF of 5,60,36
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 5
:1,5
Now, list down the factors of 60
:1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30,60
Now, list down the factors of 36
:1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18,36
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5,60,36 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5,60,36 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 88,742,265
2 | 88, 742, 265 |
53 | 44, 371, 265 |
44, 7, 5 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 53 x 44 x 7 x 5 = 163240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/163240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5/88,60/742,36/265 is 1/163240
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 88,742,265 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(88,742,265) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 106
GCF(88,742,265) x common factors =1 x 106 = 106
LCM(88,742,265) = ( 88 × 742 × 265 ) / 106
LCM(88,742,265) = 17303440 / 106
LCM(88,742,265) = 163240
