Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 545,378,998 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 545,378,998 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,15,360
3 | 37, 15, 360 |
5 | 37, 5, 120 |
37, 1, 24 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 5 x 37 x 1 x 24 = 13320
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/13320
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 545/37,378/15,998/360 is 1/13320
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 37,15,360 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,15,360) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 15
GCF(37,15,360) x common factors =1 x 15 = 15
LCM(37,15,360) = ( 37 × 15 × 360 ) / 15
LCM(37,15,360) = 199800 / 15
LCM(37,15,360) = 13320
