∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 62
:1,2,31,62
Now, list down the factors of 172
:1,2,4,43,86,172
Now, list down the factors of 880
:1,2,4,5,8,10,11,16,20,22,40,44,55,80,88,110,176,220,440,880
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 62,172,880 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 62,172,880 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,15,335
3 | 15, 15, 335 |
5 | 5, 5, 335 |
1, 1, 67 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 5 x 1 x 1 x 67 = 1005
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1005
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 62/15,172/15,880/335 is 2/1005
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 15,15,335 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,15,335) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 15
GCF(15,15,335) x common factors =5 x 15 = 75
LCM(15,15,335) = ( 15 × 15 × 335 ) / 75
LCM(15,15,335) = 75375 / 75
LCM(15,15,335) = 1005
