Lets's calculate GCF of 87,38,71
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 87
:1,3,29,87
Now, list down the factors of 38
:1,2,19,38
Now, list down the factors of 71
:1,71
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 87,38,71 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 87,38,71 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 76,50,535
2 | 76, 50, 535 |
5 | 38, 25, 535 |
38, 5, 107 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 38 x 5 x 107 = 203300
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/203300
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 87/76,38/50,71/535 is 1/203300
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 76,50,535 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(76,50,535) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 10
GCF(76,50,535) x common factors =1 x 10 = 10
LCM(76,50,535) = ( 76 × 50 × 535 ) / 10
LCM(76,50,535) = 2033000 / 10
LCM(76,50,535) = 203300
