Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 16,72,272 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 16,72,272 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 483,142,374
2 | 483, 142, 374 |
483, 71, 187 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 483 x 71 x 187 = 12825582
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/12825582
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 16/483,72/142,272/374 is 8/12825582
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 483,142,374 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(483,142,374) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(483,142,374) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(483,142,374) = ( 483 × 142 × 374 ) / 2
LCM(483,142,374) = 25651164 / 2
LCM(483,142,374) = 12825582
