Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 26,87,55,99 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 26,87,55,99 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 29,74,84,504
2 | 29, 74, 84, 504 |
2 | 29, 37, 42, 252 |
3 | 29, 37, 21, 126 |
7 | 29, 37, 7, 42 |
29, 37, 1, 6 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 29 x 37 x 1 x 6 = 540792
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/540792
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 26/29,87/74,55/84,99/504 is 1/540792
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 29,74,84,504 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(29,74,84,504) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 168
GCF(29,74,84,504) x common factors =1 x 168 = 168
LCM(29,74,84,504) = ( 29 × 74 × 84 × 504 ) / 168
LCM(29,74,84,504) = 90853056 / 168
LCM(29,74,84,504) = 540792
