Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 35,31,19,16 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 35,31,19,16 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 48,75,39,546
2 | 48, 75, 39, 546 |
3 | 24, 75, 39, 273 |
13 | 8, 25, 13, 91 |
8, 25, 1, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 13 x 8 x 25 x 1 x 7 = 109200
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/109200
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 35/48,31/75,19/39,16/546 is 1/109200
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 48,75,39,546 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(48,75,39,546) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 234
GCF(48,75,39,546) x common factors =3 x 234 = 702
LCM(48,75,39,546) = ( 48 × 75 × 39 × 546 ) / 702
LCM(48,75,39,546) = 76658400 / 702
LCM(48,75,39,546) = 109200
