1,5,47,235
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 85,72,235 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 85,72,235 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 49,56,499
7 | 49, 56, 499 |
7, 8, 499 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 7 x 8 x 499 = 195608
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/195608
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 85/49,72/56,235/499 is 1/195608
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 49,56,499 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(49,56,499) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 7
GCF(49,56,499) x common factors =1 x 7 = 7
LCM(49,56,499) = ( 49 × 56 × 499 ) / 7
LCM(49,56,499) = 1369256 / 7
LCM(49,56,499) = 195608
