1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18,36
Factors of 71
List of positive integer factors of 71 that divides 71 without a remainder.
1,71
Factors of 10
List of positive integer factors of 10 that divides 10 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 14,36,71,10 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 14,36,71,10 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 32,99,63,12
2 | 32, 99, 63, 12 |
2 | 16, 99, 63, 6 |
3 | 8, 99, 63, 3 |
3 | 8, 33, 21, 1 |
8, 11, 7, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 8 x 11 x 7 x 1 = 22176
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/22176
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 14/32,36/99,71/63,10/12 is 1/22176
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 32,99,63,12 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(32,99,63,12) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 108
GCF(32,99,63,12) x common factors =1 x 108 = 108
LCM(32,99,63,12) = ( 32 × 99 × 63 × 12 ) / 108
LCM(32,99,63,12) = 2395008 / 108
LCM(32,99,63,12) = 22176
