We found the factors 16,52,656 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 16,52,656 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,213,495
3 | 20, 213, 495 |
5 | 20, 71, 165 |
4, 71, 33 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 5 x 4 x 71 x 33 = 140580
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/140580
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 16/20,52/213,656/495 is 4/140580
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 20,213,495 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,213,495) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 15
GCF(20,213,495) x common factors =1 x 15 = 15
LCM(20,213,495) = ( 20 × 213 × 495 ) / 15
LCM(20,213,495) = 2108700 / 15
LCM(20,213,495) = 140580
