1,2,3,6,9,18,27,54,81,162
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 40,14,162 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 40,14,162 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 701,430,207
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 62396010
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/62396010
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 40/701,14/430,162/207 is 2/62396010
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 701,430,207 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(701,430,207) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(701,430,207) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(701,430,207) = ( 701 × 430 × 207 ) / 1
LCM(701,430,207) = 62396010 / 1
LCM(701,430,207) = 62396010
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
