Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 77,29,352 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 77,29,352 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 53,78,42
2 | 53, 78, 42 |
3 | 53, 39, 21 |
53, 13, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 53 x 13 x 7 = 28938
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/28938
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 77/53,29/78,352/42 is 1/28938
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 53,78,42 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(53,78,42) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(53,78,42) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(53,78,42) = ( 53 × 78 × 42 ) / 6
LCM(53,78,42) = 173628 / 6
LCM(53,78,42) = 28938
