Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 15,59,39,987 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 15,59,39,987 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 18,72,98,63
2 | 18, 72, 98, 63 |
3 | 9, 36, 49, 63 |
3 | 3, 12, 49, 21 |
7 | 1, 4, 49, 7 |
1, 4, 1, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 1 x 4 x 1 x 7 = 3528
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3528
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 15/18,59/72,39/98,987/63 is 1/3528
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 18,72,98,63 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(18,72,98,63) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2268
GCF(18,72,98,63) x common factors =1 x 2268 = 2268
LCM(18,72,98,63) = ( 18 × 72 × 98 × 63 ) / 2268
LCM(18,72,98,63) = 8001504 / 2268
LCM(18,72,98,63) = 3528
