Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 81,423,537 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 81,423,537 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 189,252,250
2 | 189, 252, 250 |
3 | 189, 126, 125 |
3 | 63, 42, 125 |
7 | 21, 14, 125 |
3, 2, 125 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 3 x 2 x 125 = 94500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/94500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 81/189,423/252,537/250 is 3/94500
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 189,252,250 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(189,252,250) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 126
GCF(189,252,250) x common factors =1 x 126 = 126
LCM(189,252,250) = ( 189 × 252 × 250 ) / 126
LCM(189,252,250) = 11907000 / 126
LCM(189,252,250) = 94500
