Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 560,178,932 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 560,178,932 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,15,238
2 | 12, 15, 238 |
3 | 6, 15, 119 |
2, 5, 119 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 2 x 5 x 119 = 7140
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/7140
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 560/12,178/15,932/238 is 2/7140
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 12,15,238 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,15,238) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(12,15,238) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(12,15,238) = ( 12 × 15 × 238 ) / 6
LCM(12,15,238) = 42840 / 6
LCM(12,15,238) = 7140
