Now, list down the factors of 61
:1,61
Now, list down the factors of 262
:1,2,131,262
Now, list down the factors of 400
:1,2,4,5,8,10,16,20,25,40,50,80,100,200,400
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 61,262,400 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 61,262,400 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 18,17,457
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 139842
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/139842
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 61/18,262/17,400/457 is 1/139842
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 18,17,457 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(18,17,457) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(18,17,457) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(18,17,457) = ( 18 × 17 × 457 ) / 1
LCM(18,17,457) = 139842 / 1
LCM(18,17,457) = 139842
