So the greatest common factor 309,744,240 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 57,50,25
5 | 57, 50, 25 |
5 | 57, 10, 5 |
57, 2, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 5 x 57 x 2 x 1 = 2850
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/2850
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 309/57,744/50,240/25 is 3/2850
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 57,50,25 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(57,50,25) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 25
GCF(57,50,25) x common factors =1 x 25 = 25
LCM(57,50,25) = ( 57 × 50 × 25 ) / 25
LCM(57,50,25) = 71250 / 25
LCM(57,50,25) = 2850
