Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 72,93,542 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 72,93,542 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 45,33,788
3 | 45, 33, 788 |
15, 11, 788 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 15 x 11 x 788 = 390060
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/390060
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 72/45,93/33,542/788 is 1/390060
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 45,33,788 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(45,33,788) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(45,33,788) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(45,33,788) = ( 45 × 33 × 788 ) / 3
LCM(45,33,788) = 1170180 / 3
LCM(45,33,788) = 390060
