Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 70,42,356 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 70,42,356 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 57,27,322
3 | 57, 27, 322 |
19, 9, 322 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 19 x 9 x 322 = 165186
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/165186
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 70/57,42/27,356/322 is 2/165186
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 57,27,322 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(57,27,322) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(57,27,322) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(57,27,322) = ( 57 × 27 × 322 ) / 3
LCM(57,27,322) = 495558 / 3
LCM(57,27,322) = 165186
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
