1,3,5,7,15,21,35,105
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 48,42,105 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 48,42,105 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 43,21,254
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 229362
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/229362
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 48/43,42/21,105/254 is 3/229362
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 43,21,254 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(43,21,254) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(43,21,254) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(43,21,254) = ( 43 × 21 × 254 ) / 1
LCM(43,21,254) = 229362 / 1
LCM(43,21,254) = 229362
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
