1,2,4,8,11,16,22,32,44,88,176,352
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 120,375,352 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 120,375,352 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 73,72,512
2 | 73, 72, 512 |
2 | 73, 36, 256 |
2 | 73, 18, 128 |
73, 9, 64 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 73 x 9 x 64 = 336384
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/336384
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 120/73,375/72,352/512 is 1/336384
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 73,72,512 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,72,512) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 8
GCF(73,72,512) x common factors =1 x 8 = 8
LCM(73,72,512) = ( 73 × 72 × 512 ) / 8
LCM(73,72,512) = 2691072 / 8
LCM(73,72,512) = 336384
