List of positive integer factors of 44 that divides 44 without a remainder.
1,2,4,11,22,44
Factors of 49
List of positive integer factors of 49 that divides 49 without a remainder.
1,7,49
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 12,82,44,49 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 12,82,44,49 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,29,67,63
3 | 36, 29, 67, 63 |
3 | 12, 29, 67, 21 |
4, 29, 67, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 4 x 29 x 67 x 7 = 489636
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/489636
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 12/36,82/29,44/67,49/63 is 1/489636
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 36,29,67,63 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,29,67,63) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 9
GCF(36,29,67,63) x common factors =1 x 9 = 9
LCM(36,29,67,63) = ( 36 × 29 × 67 × 63 ) / 9
LCM(36,29,67,63) = 4406724 / 9
LCM(36,29,67,63) = 489636
