Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 87,785,518 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 87,785,518 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 26,60,359
2 | 26, 60, 359 |
13, 30, 359 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 13 x 30 x 359 = 280020
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/280020
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 87/26,785/60,518/359 is 1/280020
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 26,60,359 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(26,60,359) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(26,60,359) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(26,60,359) = ( 26 × 60 × 359 ) / 2
LCM(26,60,359) = 560040 / 2
LCM(26,60,359) = 280020
