1,277
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 680,227,277 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 680,227,277 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 84,72,987
2 | 84, 72, 987 |
2 | 42, 36, 987 |
3 | 21, 18, 987 |
7 | 7, 6, 329 |
1, 6, 47 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 1 x 6 x 47 = 23688
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/23688
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 680/84,227/72,277/987 is 1/23688
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 84,72,987 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(84,72,987) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 84
GCF(84,72,987) x common factors =3 x 84 = 252
LCM(84,72,987) = ( 84 × 72 × 987 ) / 252
LCM(84,72,987) = 5969376 / 252
LCM(84,72,987) = 23688
