We found the factors 37,21,480 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 37,21,480 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 62,92,485
2 | 62, 92, 485 |
31, 46, 485 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 31 x 46 x 485 = 1383220
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1383220
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 37/62,21/92,480/485 is 1/1383220
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 62,92,485 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(62,92,485) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(62,92,485) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(62,92,485) = ( 62 × 92 × 485 ) / 2
LCM(62,92,485) = 2766440 / 2
LCM(62,92,485) = 1383220
