Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 37,713,860 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 37,713,860 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 19,40,235
5 | 19, 40, 235 |
19, 8, 47 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 19 x 8 x 47 = 35720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/35720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 37/19,713/40,860/235 is 1/35720
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 19,40,235 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(19,40,235) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 5
GCF(19,40,235) x common factors =1 x 5 = 5
LCM(19,40,235) = ( 19 × 40 × 235 ) / 5
LCM(19,40,235) = 178600 / 5
LCM(19,40,235) = 35720
