Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7,18,40,380 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7,18,40,380 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 27,78,490,377
2 | 27, 78, 490, 377 |
3 | 27, 39, 245, 377 |
13 | 9, 13, 245, 377 |
9, 1, 245, 29 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 13 x 9 x 1 x 245 x 29 = 4987710
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4987710
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7/27,18/78,40/490,380/377 is 1/4987710
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 27,78,490,377 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(27,78,490,377) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 78
GCF(27,78,490,377) x common factors =1 x 78 = 78
LCM(27,78,490,377) = ( 27 × 78 × 490 × 377 ) / 78
LCM(27,78,490,377) = 389041380 / 78
LCM(27,78,490,377) = 4987710
