Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 700,240,600 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 700,240,600 is 20.
Lets's calculate LCM of 73,12,244
2 | 73, 12, 244 |
2 | 73, 6, 122 |
73, 3, 61 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 73 x 3 x 61 = 53436
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 20/53436
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 700/73,240/12,600/244 is 20/53436
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 73,12,244 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,12,244) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(73,12,244) x common factors =1 x 4 = 4
LCM(73,12,244) = ( 73 × 12 × 244 ) / 4
LCM(73,12,244) = 213744 / 4
LCM(73,12,244) = 53436
