Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 20,28,32,67 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 20,28,32,67 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 30,34,56,60
2 | 30, 34, 56, 60 |
2 | 15, 17, 28, 30 |
3 | 15, 17, 14, 15 |
5 | 5, 17, 14, 5 |
1, 17, 14, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 1 x 17 x 14 x 1 = 14280
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/14280
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 20/30,28/34,32/56,67/60 is 1/14280
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 30,34,56,60 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(30,34,56,60) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 120
GCF(30,34,56,60) x common factors =2 x 120 = 240
LCM(30,34,56,60) = ( 30 × 34 × 56 × 60 ) / 240
LCM(30,34,56,60) = 3427200 / 240
LCM(30,34,56,60) = 14280
