Lets's calculate LCM of 160,465,600
2 | 160, 465, 600 |
2 | 80, 465, 300 |
2 | 40, 465, 150 |
3 | 20, 465, 75 |
5 | 20, 155, 25 |
4, 31, 5 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 4 x 31 x 5 = 74400
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/74400
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 288/160,136/465,940/600 is 4/74400
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 160,465,600 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(160,465,600) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 120
GCF(160,465,600) x common factors =5 x 120 = 600
LCM(160,465,600) = ( 160 × 465 × 600 ) / 600
LCM(160,465,600) = 44640000 / 600
LCM(160,465,600) = 74400
