Lets's calculate LCM of 48,27,56,972
2 | 48, 27, 56, 972 |
2 | 24, 27, 28, 486 |
2 | 12, 27, 14, 243 |
3 | 6, 27, 7, 243 |
3 | 2, 9, 7, 81 |
3 | 2, 3, 7, 27 |
2, 1, 7, 9 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 2 x 1 x 7 x 9 = 27216
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/27216
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 17/48,68/27,84/56,67/972 is 1/27216
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 48,27,56,972 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(48,27,56,972) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2592
GCF(48,27,56,972) x common factors =1 x 2592 = 2592
LCM(48,27,56,972) = ( 48 × 27 × 56 × 972 ) / 2592
LCM(48,27,56,972) = 70543872 / 2592
LCM(48,27,56,972) = 27216
