:1,53
Now, list down the factors of 671
:1,11,61,671
Now, list down the factors of 477
:1,3,9,53,159,477
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 53,671,477 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 53,671,477 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 18,73,272
2 | 18, 73, 272 |
9, 73, 136 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 9 x 73 x 136 = 178704
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/178704
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 53/18,671/73,477/272 is 1/178704
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 18,73,272 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(18,73,272) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(18,73,272) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(18,73,272) = ( 18 × 73 × 272 ) / 2
LCM(18,73,272) = 357408 / 2
LCM(18,73,272) = 178704
