Now, list down the factors of 76
:1,2,4,19,38,76
Now, list down the factors of 10
:1,2,5,10
Now, list down the factors of 464
:1,2,4,8,16,29,58,116,232,464
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 76,10,464 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 76,10,464 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 28,63,21
3 | 28, 63, 21 |
7 | 28, 21, 7 |
4, 3, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 7 x 4 x 3 x 1 = 252
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/252
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 76/28,10/63,464/21 is 2/252
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 28,63,21 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(28,63,21) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 21
GCF(28,63,21) x common factors =7 x 21 = 147
LCM(28,63,21) = ( 28 × 63 × 21 ) / 147
LCM(28,63,21) = 37044 / 147
LCM(28,63,21) = 252
