Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 17,82,41,43 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 17,82,41,43 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 71,71,35,600
5 | 71, 71, 35, 600 |
71 | 71, 71, 7, 120 |
1, 1, 7, 120 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 71 x 1 x 1 x 7 x 120 = 298200
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/298200
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 17/71,82/71,41/35,43/600 is 1/298200
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 71,71,35,600 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(71,71,35,600) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 355
GCF(71,71,35,600) x common factors =1 x 355 = 355
LCM(71,71,35,600) = ( 71 × 71 × 35 × 600 ) / 355
LCM(71,71,35,600) = 105861000 / 355
LCM(71,71,35,600) = 298200
