Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 700,391,689 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 700,391,689 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,42,600
2 | 40, 42, 600 |
2 | 20, 21, 300 |
2 | 10, 21, 150 |
3 | 5, 21, 75 |
5 | 5, 7, 25 |
1, 7, 5 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 1 x 7 x 5 = 4200
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4200
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 700/40,391/42,689/600 is 1/4200
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 40,42,600 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,42,600) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 120
GCF(40,42,600) x common factors =2 x 120 = 240
LCM(40,42,600) = ( 40 × 42 × 600 ) / 240
LCM(40,42,600) = 1008000 / 240
LCM(40,42,600) = 4200
