Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 280,815,872 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 280,815,872 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 97,15,243
3 | 97, 15, 243 |
97, 5, 81 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 97 x 5 x 81 = 117855
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/117855
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 280/97,815/15,872/243 is 1/117855
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 97,15,243 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(97,15,243) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(97,15,243) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(97,15,243) = ( 97 × 15 × 243 ) / 3
LCM(97,15,243) = 353565 / 3
LCM(97,15,243) = 117855
