1,223
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 13,82,25,223 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 13,82,25,223 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,71,56,48
2 | 16, 71, 56, 48 |
2 | 8, 71, 28, 24 |
2 | 4, 71, 14, 12 |
2 | 2, 71, 7, 6 |
1, 71, 7, 3 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 1 x 71 x 7 x 3 = 23856
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/23856
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 13/16,82/71,25/56,223/48 is 1/23856
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 16,71,56,48 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,71,56,48) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 128
GCF(16,71,56,48) x common factors =1 x 128 = 128
LCM(16,71,56,48) = ( 16 × 71 × 56 × 48 ) / 128
LCM(16,71,56,48) = 3053568 / 128
LCM(16,71,56,48) = 23856
