So the greatest common factor 67,68,868 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 240,420,725
2 | 240, 420, 725 |
2 | 120, 210, 725 |
3 | 60, 105, 725 |
5 | 20, 35, 725 |
4, 7, 145 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 4 x 7 x 145 = 243600
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/243600
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 67/240,68/420,868/725 is 1/243600
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 240,420,725 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(240,420,725) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 60
GCF(240,420,725) x common factors =5 x 60 = 300
LCM(240,420,725) = ( 240 × 420 × 725 ) / 300
LCM(240,420,725) = 73080000 / 300
LCM(240,420,725) = 243600
