Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 81,42,309 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 81,42,309 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 94,53,420
2 | 94, 53, 420 |
47, 53, 210 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 47 x 53 x 210 = 1046220
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1046220
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 81/94,42/53,309/420 is 3/1046220
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 94,53,420 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(94,53,420) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(94,53,420) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(94,53,420) = ( 94 × 53 × 420 ) / 2
LCM(94,53,420) = 2092440 / 2
LCM(94,53,420) = 1046220
