So the greatest common factor 29,72,11,15 is 1.

Lets's calculate LCM of 42,60,40,82

2 42, 60, 40, 82
2 21, 30, 20, 41
3 21, 15, 10, 41
5 7, 5, 10, 41
7, 1, 2, 41

∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 1 x 2 x 41 = 34440

Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/34440

Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 29/42,72/60,11/40,15/82 is 1/34440

Least Common Multiple of 42,60,40,82 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 42,60,40,82 with GCF Formula

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 42,60,40,82 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(42,60,40,82) = 2

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 120

GCF(42,60,40,82) x common factors =2 x 120 = 240

LCM(42,60,40,82) = ( 42 × 60 × 40 × 82 ) / 240

LCM(42,60,40,82) = 8265600 / 240

LCM(42,60,40,82) = 34440
