Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 19,39,71,32 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 19,39,71,32 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 28,84,98,87
2 | 28, 84, 98, 87 |
2 | 14, 42, 49, 87 |
3 | 7, 21, 49, 87 |
7 | 7, 7, 49, 29 |
1, 1, 7, 29 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 1 x 1 x 7 x 29 = 17052
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/17052
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 19/28,39/84,71/98,32/87 is 1/17052
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 28,84,98,87 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(28,84,98,87) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1176
GCF(28,84,98,87) x common factors =1 x 1176 = 1176
LCM(28,84,98,87) = ( 28 × 84 × 98 × 87 ) / 1176
LCM(28,84,98,87) = 20053152 / 1176
LCM(28,84,98,87) = 17052
