1,2,3,6,9,18,27,54,81,162
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 93,72,162 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 93,72,162 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 94,45,498
2 | 94, 45, 498 |
3 | 47, 45, 249 |
47, 15, 83 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 47 x 15 x 83 = 351090
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/351090
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 93/94,72/45,162/498 is 3/351090
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 94,45,498 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(94,45,498) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(94,45,498) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(94,45,498) = ( 94 × 45 × 498 ) / 6
LCM(94,45,498) = 2106540 / 6
LCM(94,45,498) = 351090
