:1,2,5,10,19,38,95,190
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 50,261,190 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 50,261,190 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 85,18,300
2 | 85, 18, 300 |
3 | 85, 9, 150 |
5 | 85, 3, 50 |
17, 3, 10 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 5 x 17 x 3 x 10 = 15300
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/15300
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 50/85,261/18,190/300 is 1/15300
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 85,18,300 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(85,18,300) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 30
GCF(85,18,300) x common factors =1 x 30 = 30
LCM(85,18,300) = ( 85 × 18 × 300 ) / 30
LCM(85,18,300) = 459000 / 30
LCM(85,18,300) = 15300
