In the given fractions GCF of Numerators means GCF of 16,34,149
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 16,34,149 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 287,315,369 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 287,315,369 is 12915 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 16,34,149
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 16
List of positive integer factors of 16 that divides 16 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,16
Factors of 34
List of positive integer factors of 34 that divides 34 without a remainder.
1,2,17,34
Factors of 149
List of positive integer factors of 149 that divides 149 without a remainder.
1,149
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 16,34,149 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 16,34,149 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 287,315,369
3 | 287, 315, 369 |
3 | 287, 105, 123 |
7 | 287, 35, 41 |
41 | 41, 5, 41 |
1, 5, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 7 x 41 x 1 x 5 x 1 = 12915
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/12915
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 16/287,34/315,149/369 is 1/12915
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 287,315,369 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(287,315,369) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2583
GCF(287,315,369) x common factors =1 x 2583 = 2583
LCM(287,315,369) = ( 287 × 315 × 369 ) / 2583
LCM(287,315,369) = 33359445 / 2583
LCM(287,315,369) = 12915
