Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 46,42,832 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 46,42,832 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,69,795
3 | 15, 69, 795 |
5 | 5, 23, 265 |
1, 23, 53 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 5 x 1 x 23 x 53 = 18285
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/18285
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 46/15,42/69,832/795 is 2/18285
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 15,69,795 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,69,795) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 15
GCF(15,69,795) x common factors =3 x 15 = 45
LCM(15,69,795) = ( 15 × 69 × 795 ) / 45
LCM(15,69,795) = 822825 / 45
LCM(15,69,795) = 18285
