The factors of 80 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80
The factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
The factors of 59 are 1, 59
The HCF of 80,12,59 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 80,12,59
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 80
:1,2,4,5,8,10,16,20,40,80
Now, list down the factors of 12
:1,2,3,4,6,12
Now, list down the factors of 59
:1,59
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 80,12,59 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 80,12,59 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,12,487
2 | 40, 12, 487 |
2 | 20, 6, 487 |
10, 3, 487 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 10 x 3 x 487 = 58440
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/58440
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 80/40,12/12,59/487 is 1/58440
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 40,12,487 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,12,487) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(40,12,487) x common factors =1 x 4 = 4
LCM(40,12,487) = ( 40 × 12 × 487 ) / 4
LCM(40,12,487) = 233760 / 4
LCM(40,12,487) = 58440
