1,5,11,55
Factors of 78
List of positive integer factors of 78 that divides 78 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,13,26,39,78
Factors of 465
List of positive integer factors of 465 that divides 465 without a remainder.
1,3,5,15,31,93,155,465
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 55,78,465 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 55,78,465 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,46,252
2 | 12, 46, 252 |
2 | 6, 23, 126 |
3 | 3, 23, 63 |
1, 23, 21 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 1 x 23 x 21 = 5796
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5796
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 55/12,78/46,465/252 is 1/5796
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 12,46,252 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,46,252) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 12
GCF(12,46,252) x common factors =2 x 12 = 24
LCM(12,46,252) = ( 12 × 46 × 252 ) / 24
LCM(12,46,252) = 139104 / 24
LCM(12,46,252) = 5796
