Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 87,21,512 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 87,21,512 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 22,21,670
2 | 22, 21, 670 |
11, 21, 335 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 11 x 21 x 335 = 154770
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/154770
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 87/22,21/21,512/670 is 1/154770
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 22,21,670 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(22,21,670) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(22,21,670) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(22,21,670) = ( 22 × 21 × 670 ) / 2
LCM(22,21,670) = 309540 / 2
LCM(22,21,670) = 154770
