Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 13,83,99,42 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 13,83,99,42 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,48,53,859
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 80855952
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/80855952
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 13/37,83/48,99/53,42/859 is 1/80855952
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 37,48,53,859 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,48,53,859) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(37,48,53,859) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(37,48,53,859) = ( 37 × 48 × 53 × 859 ) / 1
LCM(37,48,53,859) = 80855952 / 1
LCM(37,48,53,859) = 80855952
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
