Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 547,235,140 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 547,235,140 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,75,42
3 | 41, 75, 42 |
41, 25, 14 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 41 x 25 x 14 = 43050
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/43050
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 547/41,235/75,140/42 is 1/43050
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 41,75,42 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,75,42) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(41,75,42) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(41,75,42) = ( 41 × 75 × 42 ) / 3
LCM(41,75,42) = 129150 / 3
LCM(41,75,42) = 43050
