1,2,4,8,109,218,436,872
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 34,85,87,872 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 34,85,87,872 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 60,11,55,46
2 | 60, 11, 55, 46 |
5 | 30, 11, 55, 23 |
11 | 6, 11, 11, 23 |
6, 1, 1, 23 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 11 x 6 x 1 x 1 x 23 = 15180
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/15180
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 34/60,85/11,87/55,872/46 is 1/15180
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 60,11,55,46 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(60,11,55,46) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 110
GCF(60,11,55,46) x common factors =1 x 110 = 110
LCM(60,11,55,46) = ( 60 × 11 × 55 × 46 ) / 110
LCM(60,11,55,46) = 1669800 / 110
LCM(60,11,55,46) = 15180
