We found the factors 45,40,288 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 45,40,288 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 220,594,126
2 | 220, 594, 126 |
3 | 110, 297, 63 |
3 | 110, 99, 21 |
11 | 110, 33, 7 |
10, 3, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 11 x 10 x 3 x 7 = 41580
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/41580
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 45/220,40/594,288/126 is 1/41580
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 220,594,126 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(220,594,126) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 198
GCF(220,594,126) x common factors =2 x 198 = 396
LCM(220,594,126) = ( 220 × 594 × 126 ) / 396
LCM(220,594,126) = 16465680 / 396
LCM(220,594,126) = 41580
