Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3,4,52,84 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3,4,52,84 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 78,53,52,768
2 | 78, 53, 52, 768 |
2 | 39, 53, 26, 384 |
3 | 39, 53, 13, 192 |
13 | 13, 53, 13, 64 |
1, 53, 1, 64 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 13 x 1 x 53 x 1 x 64 = 529152
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/529152
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3/78,4/53,52/52,84/768 is 1/529152
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 78,53,52,768 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,53,52,768) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 312
GCF(78,53,52,768) x common factors =1 x 312 = 312
LCM(78,53,52,768) = ( 78 × 53 × 52 × 768 ) / 312
LCM(78,53,52,768) = 165095424 / 312
LCM(78,53,52,768) = 529152
