Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 60,58,284 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 60,58,284 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 64,57,987
3 | 64, 57, 987 |
64, 19, 329 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 64 x 19 x 329 = 1200192
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1200192
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 60/64,58/57,284/987 is 2/1200192
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 64,57,987 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(64,57,987) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(64,57,987) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(64,57,987) = ( 64 × 57 × 987 ) / 3
LCM(64,57,987) = 3600576 / 3
LCM(64,57,987) = 1200192
