Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 27,387,900 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 27,387,900 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 28,88,640
2 | 28, 88, 640 |
2 | 14, 44, 320 |
2 | 7, 22, 160 |
7, 11, 80 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 11 x 80 = 49280
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/49280
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 27/28,387/88,900/640 is 9/49280
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 28,88,640 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(28,88,640) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 8
GCF(28,88,640) x common factors =4 x 8 = 32
LCM(28,88,640) = ( 28 × 88 × 640 ) / 32
LCM(28,88,640) = 1576960 / 32
LCM(28,88,640) = 49280
