We found the factors 17,86,57,85 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 17,86,57,85 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 30,16,32,714
2 | 30, 16, 32, 714 |
2 | 15, 8, 16, 357 |
2 | 15, 4, 8, 357 |
2 | 15, 2, 4, 357 |
3 | 15, 1, 2, 357 |
5, 1, 2, 119 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 1 x 2 x 119 = 57120
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/57120
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 17/30,86/16,57/32,85/714 is 1/57120
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 30,16,32,714 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(30,16,32,714) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 96
GCF(30,16,32,714) x common factors =2 x 96 = 192
LCM(30,16,32,714) = ( 30 × 16 × 32 × 714 ) / 192
LCM(30,16,32,714) = 10967040 / 192
LCM(30,16,32,714) = 57120
