Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 15,27,50,959 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 15,27,50,959 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 78,32,36,38
2 | 78, 32, 36, 38 |
2 | 39, 16, 18, 19 |
3 | 39, 8, 9, 19 |
13, 8, 3, 19 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 13 x 8 x 3 x 19 = 71136
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/71136
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 15/78,27/32,50/36,959/38 is 1/71136
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 78,32,36,38 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,32,36,38) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 24
GCF(78,32,36,38) x common factors =2 x 24 = 48
LCM(78,32,36,38) = ( 78 × 32 × 36 × 38 ) / 48
LCM(78,32,36,38) = 3414528 / 48
LCM(78,32,36,38) = 71136
