Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 24,89,56,38 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 24,89,56,38 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,12,78,513
2 | 36, 12, 78, 513 |
2 | 18, 6, 39, 513 |
3 | 9, 3, 39, 513 |
3 | 1, 3, 13, 171 |
1, 1, 13, 57 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 1 x 1 x 13 x 57 = 26676
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/26676
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 24/36,89/12,56/78,38/513 is 1/26676
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 36,12,78,513 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,12,78,513) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 216
GCF(36,12,78,513) x common factors =3 x 216 = 648
LCM(36,12,78,513) = ( 36 × 12 × 78 × 513 ) / 648
LCM(36,12,78,513) = 17286048 / 648
LCM(36,12,78,513) = 26676
