Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 48,50,440 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 48,50,440 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 50,38,740
2 | 50, 38, 740 |
5 | 25, 19, 370 |
5, 19, 74 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 5 x 19 x 74 = 70300
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/70300
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 48/50,50/38,440/740 is 2/70300
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 50,38,740 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(50,38,740) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 10
GCF(50,38,740) x common factors =2 x 10 = 20
LCM(50,38,740) = ( 50 × 38 × 740 ) / 20
LCM(50,38,740) = 1406000 / 20
LCM(50,38,740) = 70300
