1,2,17,34
Factors of 50
List of positive integer factors of 50 that divides 50 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,25,50
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 14,63,34,50 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 14,63,34,50 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,19,17,918
2 | 36, 19, 17, 918 |
3 | 18, 19, 17, 459 |
3 | 6, 19, 17, 153 |
17 | 2, 19, 17, 51 |
2, 19, 1, 3 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 17 x 2 x 19 x 1 x 3 = 34884
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/34884
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 14/36,63/19,34/17,50/918 is 1/34884
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 36,19,17,918 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,19,17,918) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 306
GCF(36,19,17,918) x common factors =1 x 306 = 306
LCM(36,19,17,918) = ( 36 × 19 × 17 × 918 ) / 306
LCM(36,19,17,918) = 10674504 / 306
LCM(36,19,17,918) = 34884
