Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 32,98,11,451 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 32,98,11,451 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,92,18,82
2 | 36, 92, 18, 82 |
2 | 18, 46, 9, 41 |
3 | 9, 23, 9, 41 |
3 | 3, 23, 3, 41 |
1, 23, 1, 41 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 1 x 23 x 1 x 41 = 33948
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/33948
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 32/36,98/92,11/18,451/82 is 1/33948
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 36,92,18,82 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,92,18,82) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 72
GCF(36,92,18,82) x common factors =2 x 72 = 144
LCM(36,92,18,82) = ( 36 × 92 × 18 × 82 ) / 144
LCM(36,92,18,82) = 4888512 / 144
LCM(36,92,18,82) = 33948
