Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 55,80,201 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 55,80,201 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 240,380,745
2 | 240, 380, 745 |
2 | 120, 190, 745 |
5 | 60, 95, 745 |
12, 19, 149 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 12 x 19 x 149 = 679440
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/679440
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 55/240,80/380,201/745 is 1/679440
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 240,380,745 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(240,380,745) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 20
GCF(240,380,745) x common factors =5 x 20 = 100
LCM(240,380,745) = ( 240 × 380 × 745 ) / 100
LCM(240,380,745) = 67944000 / 100
LCM(240,380,745) = 679440
