1,2,4,8,16,32,64
Factors of 50
List of positive integer factors of 50 that divides 50 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,25,50
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 28,61,64,50 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 28,61,64,50 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,65,43,21
3 | 15, 65, 43, 21 |
5 | 5, 65, 43, 7 |
1, 13, 43, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 5 x 1 x 13 x 43 x 7 = 58695
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/58695
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 28/15,61/65,64/43,50/21 is 1/58695
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 15,65,43,21 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,65,43,21) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 15
GCF(15,65,43,21) x common factors =1 x 15 = 15
LCM(15,65,43,21) = ( 15 × 65 × 43 × 21 ) / 15
LCM(15,65,43,21) = 880425 / 15
LCM(15,65,43,21) = 58695
