Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 271,187,520 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 271,187,520 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 78,59,20
2 | 78, 59, 20 |
39, 59, 10 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 39 x 59 x 10 = 46020
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/46020
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 271/78,187/59,520/20 is 1/46020
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 78,59,20 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,59,20) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(78,59,20) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(78,59,20) = ( 78 × 59 × 20 ) / 2
LCM(78,59,20) = 92040 / 2
LCM(78,59,20) = 46020
