:1,2,4,5,7,10,14,20,28,35,70,140
Now, list down the factors of 104
:1,2,4,8,13,26,52,104
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 730,140,104 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 730,140,104 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 87,48,306
2 | 87, 48, 306 |
3 | 87, 24, 153 |
29, 8, 51 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 29 x 8 x 51 = 70992
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/70992
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 730/87,140/48,104/306 is 2/70992
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 87,48,306 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,48,306) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(87,48,306) x common factors =3 x 6 = 18
LCM(87,48,306) = ( 87 × 48 × 306 ) / 18
LCM(87,48,306) = 1277856 / 18
LCM(87,48,306) = 70992
