1,149
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 136,380,149 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 136,380,149 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 35,40,972
2 | 35, 40, 972 |
2 | 35, 20, 486 |
5 | 35, 10, 243 |
7, 2, 243 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 7 x 2 x 243 = 68040
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/68040
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 136/35,380/40,149/972 is 1/68040
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 35,40,972 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(35,40,972) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 20
GCF(35,40,972) x common factors =1 x 20 = 20
LCM(35,40,972) = ( 35 × 40 × 972 ) / 20
LCM(35,40,972) = 1360800 / 20
LCM(35,40,972) = 68040
