Lets's calculate GCF of 81,131,647
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 81
:1,3,9,27,81
Now, list down the factors of 131
:1,131
Now, list down the factors of 647
:1,647
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 81,131,647 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 81,131,647 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 22,42,972
2 | 22, 42, 972 |
3 | 11, 21, 486 |
11, 7, 162 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 11 x 7 x 162 = 74844
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/74844
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 81/22,131/42,647/972 is 1/74844
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 22,42,972 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(22,42,972) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(22,42,972) x common factors =2 x 6 = 12
LCM(22,42,972) = ( 22 × 42 × 972 ) / 12
LCM(22,42,972) = 898128 / 12
LCM(22,42,972) = 74844
