Lets's calculate GCF of 51,84,15
3 | 51, 84, 15 |
17, 28, 5 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 51
:1,3,17,51
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 15
:1,3,5,15
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 51,84,15 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 51,84,15 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,30,638
2 | 12, 30, 638 |
3 | 6, 15, 319 |
2, 5, 319 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 2 x 5 x 319 = 19140
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/19140
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 51/12,84/30,15/638 is 3/19140
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 12,30,638 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,30,638) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(12,30,638) x common factors =2 x 6 = 12
LCM(12,30,638) = ( 12 × 30 × 638 ) / 12
LCM(12,30,638) = 229680 / 12
LCM(12,30,638) = 19140
