1,59
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 18,23,42,59 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 18,23,42,59 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 60,25,90,251
2 | 60, 25, 90, 251 |
3 | 30, 25, 45, 251 |
5 | 10, 25, 15, 251 |
2, 5, 3, 251 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 5 x 2 x 5 x 3 x 251 = 225900
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/225900
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 18/60,23/25,42/90,59/251 is 1/225900
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 60,25,90,251 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(60,25,90,251) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 150
GCF(60,25,90,251) x common factors =1 x 150 = 150
LCM(60,25,90,251) = ( 60 × 25 × 90 × 251 ) / 150
LCM(60,25,90,251) = 33885000 / 150
LCM(60,25,90,251) = 225900
