Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 288,161,962 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 288,161,962 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,71,460
5 | 15, 71, 460 |
3, 71, 92 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 3 x 71 x 92 = 97980
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/97980
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 288/15,161/71,962/460 is 1/97980
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 15,71,460 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,71,460) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 5
GCF(15,71,460) x common factors =1 x 5 = 5
LCM(15,71,460) = ( 15 × 71 × 460 ) / 5
LCM(15,71,460) = 489900 / 5
LCM(15,71,460) = 97980
