:1,3,9,27,81
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9,42,81 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9,42,81 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 88,342,132
2 | 88, 342, 132 |
2 | 44, 171, 66 |
3 | 22, 171, 33 |
11 | 22, 57, 11 |
2, 57, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 11 x 2 x 57 x 1 = 15048
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/15048
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9/88,42/342,81/132 is 3/15048
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 88,342,132 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(88,342,132) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 132
GCF(88,342,132) x common factors =2 x 132 = 264
LCM(88,342,132) = ( 88 × 342 × 132 ) / 264
LCM(88,342,132) = 3972672 / 264
LCM(88,342,132) = 15048
