We found the factors 359,784,562 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 359,784,562 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,60,987
2 | 40, 60, 987 |
2 | 20, 30, 987 |
3 | 10, 15, 987 |
5 | 10, 5, 329 |
2, 1, 329 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 2 x 1 x 329 = 39480
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/39480
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 359/40,784/60,562/987 is 1/39480
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 40,60,987 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,60,987) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 60
GCF(40,60,987) x common factors =1 x 60 = 60
LCM(40,60,987) = ( 40 × 60 × 987 ) / 60
LCM(40,60,987) = 2368800 / 60
LCM(40,60,987) = 39480
