1,2,3,6,9,18,41,82,123,246,369,738
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 421,713,738 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 421,713,738 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 84,80,90
2 | 84, 80, 90 |
2 | 42, 40, 45 |
3 | 21, 20, 45 |
5 | 7, 20, 15 |
7, 4, 3 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 4 x 3 = 5040
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5040
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 421/84,713/80,738/90 is 1/5040
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 84,80,90 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(84,80,90) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 60
GCF(84,80,90) x common factors =2 x 60 = 120
LCM(84,80,90) = ( 84 × 80 × 90 ) / 120
LCM(84,80,90) = 604800 / 120
LCM(84,80,90) = 5040
