Lets's calculate GCF of 6,502,752
2 | 6, 502, 752 |
3, 251, 376 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 6
:1,2,3,6
Now, list down the factors of 502
:1,2,251,502
Now, list down the factors of 752
:1,2,4,8,16,47,94,188,376,752
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6,502,752 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6,502,752 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 84,98,40
2 | 84, 98, 40 |
2 | 42, 49, 20 |
7 | 21, 49, 10 |
3, 7, 10 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 7 x 3 x 7 x 10 = 5880
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/5880
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6/84,502/98,752/40 is 2/5880
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 84,98,40 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(84,98,40) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 28
GCF(84,98,40) x common factors =2 x 28 = 56
LCM(84,98,40) = ( 84 × 98 × 40 ) / 56
LCM(84,98,40) = 329280 / 56
LCM(84,98,40) = 5880
