List of positive integer factors of 96 that divides 96 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,32,48,96
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 21,77,93,96 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 21,77,93,96 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 48,38,55,317
2 | 48, 38, 55, 317 |
24, 19, 55, 317 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 24 x 19 x 55 x 317 = 15900720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/15900720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 21/48,77/38,93/55,96/317 is 1/15900720
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 48,38,55,317 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(48,38,55,317) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(48,38,55,317) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(48,38,55,317) = ( 48 × 38 × 55 × 317 ) / 2
LCM(48,38,55,317) = 31801440 / 2
LCM(48,38,55,317) = 15900720
