Now, list down the factors of 40
:1,2,4,5,8,10,20,40
Now, list down the factors of 296
:1,2,4,8,37,74,148,296
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 88,40,296 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 88,40,296 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 61,92,56
2 | 61, 92, 56 |
2 | 61, 46, 28 |
61, 23, 14 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 61 x 23 x 14 = 78568
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/78568
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 88/61,40/92,296/56 is 8/78568
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 61,92,56 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(61,92,56) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(61,92,56) x common factors =1 x 4 = 4
LCM(61,92,56) = ( 61 × 92 × 56 ) / 4
LCM(61,92,56) = 314272 / 4
LCM(61,92,56) = 78568
