Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2,32,40,987 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2,32,40,987 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 19,42,169,532
2 | 19, 42, 169, 532 |
7 | 19, 21, 169, 266 |
19 | 19, 3, 169, 38 |
1, 3, 169, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 19 x 1 x 3 x 169 x 2 = 269724
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/269724
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2/19,32/42,40/169,987/532 is 1/269724
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 19,42,169,532 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(19,42,169,532) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 266
GCF(19,42,169,532) x common factors =1 x 266 = 266
LCM(19,42,169,532) = ( 19 × 42 × 169 × 532 ) / 266
LCM(19,42,169,532) = 71746584 / 266
LCM(19,42,169,532) = 269724
