We found the factors 296,142,188 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 296,142,188 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 45,15,162
3 | 45, 15, 162 |
3 | 15, 5, 54 |
5 | 5, 5, 18 |
1, 1, 18 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 5 x 1 x 1 x 18 = 810
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/810
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 296/45,142/15,188/162 is 2/810
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 45,15,162 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(45,15,162) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 45
GCF(45,15,162) x common factors =3 x 45 = 135
LCM(45,15,162) = ( 45 × 15 × 162 ) / 135
LCM(45,15,162) = 109350 / 135
LCM(45,15,162) = 810
