Lets's calculate LCM of 70,18,180
2 | 70, 18, 180 |
3 | 35, 9, 90 |
3 | 35, 3, 30 |
5 | 35, 1, 10 |
7, 1, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 1 x 2 = 1260
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1260
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 401/70,730/18,572/180 is 1/1260
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 70,18,180 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(70,18,180) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 90
GCF(70,18,180) x common factors =2 x 90 = 180
LCM(70,18,180) = ( 70 × 18 × 180 ) / 180
LCM(70,18,180) = 226800 / 180
LCM(70,18,180) = 1260
