Greatest Common Factor

We found the factors 23,17,72,959 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 23,17,72,959 is 1.

Lets's calculate LCM of 12,59,23,20

2 12, 59, 23, 20
2 6, 59, 23, 10
3, 59, 23, 5

∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 59 x 23 x 5 = 81420

Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/81420

Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 23/12,17/59,72/23,959/20 is 1/81420

Least Common Multiple of 12,59,23,20 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 12,59,23,20 with GCF Formula

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 12,59,23,20 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(12,59,23,20) = 1

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4

GCF(12,59,23,20) x common factors =1 x 4 = 4

LCM(12,59,23,20) = ( 12 × 59 × 23 × 20 ) / 4

LCM(12,59,23,20) = 325680 / 4

LCM(12,59,23,20) = 81420
