Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 96,12,429 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 96,12,429 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 96,65,227
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1416480
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1416480
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 96/96,12/65,429/227 is 3/1416480
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 96,65,227 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(96,65,227) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(96,65,227) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(96,65,227) = ( 96 × 65 × 227 ) / 1
LCM(96,65,227) = 1416480 / 1
LCM(96,65,227) = 1416480
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
