Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 27,69,27,26 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 27,69,27,26 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 74,63,72,981
2 | 74, 63, 72, 981 |
3 | 37, 63, 36, 981 |
3 | 37, 21, 12, 327 |
37, 7, 4, 109 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 37 x 7 x 4 x 109 = 2032632
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2032632
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 27/74,69/63,27/72,26/981 is 1/2032632
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 74,63,72,981 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(74,63,72,981) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 162
GCF(74,63,72,981) x common factors =1 x 162 = 162
LCM(74,63,72,981) = ( 74 × 63 × 72 × 981 ) / 162
LCM(74,63,72,981) = 329286384 / 162
LCM(74,63,72,981) = 2032632
