Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 100,846,812 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 100,846,812 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,25,750
2 | 72, 25, 750 |
3 | 36, 25, 375 |
5 | 12, 25, 125 |
5 | 12, 5, 25 |
12, 1, 5 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 5 x 5 x 12 x 1 x 5 = 9000
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/9000
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 100/72,846/25,812/750 is 2/9000
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 72,25,750 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,25,750) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 150
GCF(72,25,750) x common factors =1 x 150 = 150
LCM(72,25,750) = ( 72 × 25 × 750 ) / 150
LCM(72,25,750) = 1350000 / 150
LCM(72,25,750) = 9000
