Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 126,246,839 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 126,246,839 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,85,102
2 | 72, 85, 102 |
3 | 36, 85, 51 |
17 | 12, 85, 17 |
12, 5, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 17 x 12 x 5 x 1 = 6120
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6120
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 126/72,246/85,839/102 is 1/6120
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 72,85,102 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,85,102) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 102
GCF(72,85,102) x common factors =1 x 102 = 102
LCM(72,85,102) = ( 72 × 85 × 102 ) / 102
LCM(72,85,102) = 624240 / 102
LCM(72,85,102) = 6120
