Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 23,61,72,40 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 23,61,72,40 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 90,16,63,42
2 | 90, 16, 63, 42 |
3 | 45, 8, 63, 21 |
3 | 15, 8, 7, 21 |
7 | 5, 8, 7, 7 |
5, 8, 1, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 5 x 8 x 1 x 1 = 5040
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5040
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 23/90,61/16,72/63,40/42 is 1/5040
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 90,16,63,42 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(90,16,63,42) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 756
GCF(90,16,63,42) x common factors =1 x 756 = 756
LCM(90,16,63,42) = ( 90 × 16 × 63 × 42 ) / 756
LCM(90,16,63,42) = 3810240 / 756
LCM(90,16,63,42) = 5040
