Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 28,20,95,78 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 28,20,95,78 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 49,96,14,544
2 | 49, 96, 14, 544 |
2 | 49, 48, 7, 272 |
2 | 49, 24, 7, 136 |
2 | 49, 12, 7, 68 |
2 | 49, 6, 7, 34 |
7 | 49, 3, 7, 17 |
1, 3, 7, 17 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 1 x 3 x 7 x 17 = 79968
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/79968
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 28/49,20/96,95/14,78/544 is 1/79968
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 49,96,14,544 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(49,96,14,544) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 448
GCF(49,96,14,544) x common factors =1 x 448 = 448
LCM(49,96,14,544) = ( 49 × 96 × 14 × 544 ) / 448
LCM(49,96,14,544) = 35825664 / 448
LCM(49,96,14,544) = 79968
