Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 16,30,68,78 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 16,30,68,78 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,60,90,365
2 | 15, 60, 90, 365 |
3 | 15, 30, 45, 365 |
5 | 5, 10, 15, 365 |
1, 2, 3, 73 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 5 x 1 x 2 x 3 x 73 = 13140
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/13140
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 16/15,30/60,68/90,78/365 is 2/13140
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 15,60,90,365 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,60,90,365) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 450
GCF(15,60,90,365) x common factors =5 x 450 = 2250
LCM(15,60,90,365) = ( 15 × 60 × 90 × 365 ) / 2250
LCM(15,60,90,365) = 29565000 / 2250
LCM(15,60,90,365) = 13140
