Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 84,132,396 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 84,132,396 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 68,35,325
5 | 68, 35, 325 |
68, 7, 65 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 68 x 7 x 65 = 154700
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/154700
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 84/68,132/35,396/325 is 12/154700
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 68,35,325 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(68,35,325) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 5
GCF(68,35,325) x common factors =1 x 5 = 5
LCM(68,35,325) = ( 68 × 35 × 325 ) / 5
LCM(68,35,325) = 773500 / 5
LCM(68,35,325) = 154700
