1,3,17,51,289,867
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 40,89,867 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 40,89,867 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 73,95,85
5 | 73, 95, 85 |
73, 19, 17 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 73 x 19 x 17 = 117895
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/117895
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 40/73,89/95,867/85 is 1/117895
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 73,95,85 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,95,85) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 5
GCF(73,95,85) x common factors =1 x 5 = 5
LCM(73,95,85) = ( 73 × 95 × 85 ) / 5
LCM(73,95,85) = 589475 / 5
LCM(73,95,85) = 117895
