Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 24,43,12,56 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 24,43,12,56 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 29,87,96,136
2 | 29, 87, 96, 136 |
2 | 29, 87, 48, 68 |
2 | 29, 87, 24, 34 |
3 | 29, 87, 12, 17 |
29 | 29, 29, 4, 17 |
1, 1, 4, 17 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 29 x 1 x 1 x 4 x 17 = 47328
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/47328
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 24/29,43/87,12/96,56/136 is 1/47328
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 29,87,96,136 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(29,87,96,136) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 696
GCF(29,87,96,136) x common factors =1 x 696 = 696
LCM(29,87,96,136) = ( 29 × 87 × 96 × 136 ) / 696
LCM(29,87,96,136) = 32940288 / 696
LCM(29,87,96,136) = 47328
