Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 68,72,558 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 68,72,558 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 95,89,445
5 | 95, 89, 445 |
89 | 19, 89, 89 |
19, 1, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 89 x 19 x 1 x 1 = 8455
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/8455
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 68/95,72/89,558/445 is 2/8455
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 95,89,445 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(95,89,445) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 445
GCF(95,89,445) x common factors =1 x 445 = 445
LCM(95,89,445) = ( 95 × 89 × 445 ) / 445
LCM(95,89,445) = 3762475 / 445
LCM(95,89,445) = 8455
