1,2,3,6,7,14,21,42,49,98,147,294
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 80,16,294 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 80,16,294 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 87,39,503
3 | 87, 39, 503 |
29, 13, 503 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 29 x 13 x 503 = 568893
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/568893
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 80/87,16/39,294/503 is 2/568893
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 87,39,503 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,39,503) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(87,39,503) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(87,39,503) = ( 87 × 39 × 503 ) / 3
LCM(87,39,503) = 1706679 / 3
LCM(87,39,503) = 568893
