Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 87,46,904 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 87,46,904 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 500,258,850
2 | 500, 258, 850 |
5 | 250, 129, 425 |
5 | 50, 129, 85 |
10, 129, 17 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 5 x 10 x 129 x 17 = 1096500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1096500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 87/500,46/258,904/850 is 1/1096500
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 500,258,850 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(500,258,850) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 50
GCF(500,258,850) x common factors =2 x 50 = 100
LCM(500,258,850) = ( 500 × 258 × 850 ) / 100
LCM(500,258,850) = 109650000 / 100
LCM(500,258,850) = 1096500
