Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3,24,57,216 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3,24,57,216 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 77,66,279,259
3 | 77, 66, 279, 259 |
7 | 77, 22, 93, 259 |
11 | 11, 22, 93, 37 |
1, 2, 93, 37 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 7 x 11 x 1 x 2 x 93 x 37 = 1589742
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1589742
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3/77,24/66,57/279,216/259 is 3/1589742
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 77,66,279,259 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(77,66,279,259) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 231
GCF(77,66,279,259) x common factors =1 x 231 = 231
LCM(77,66,279,259) = ( 77 × 66 × 279 × 259 ) / 231
LCM(77,66,279,259) = 367230402 / 231
LCM(77,66,279,259) = 1589742
