Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 36,74,66,54 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 36,74,66,54 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 45,26,20,90
2 | 45, 26, 20, 90 |
3 | 45, 13, 10, 45 |
3 | 15, 13, 10, 15 |
5 | 5, 13, 10, 5 |
1, 13, 2, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 1 x 13 x 2 x 1 = 2340
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2340
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/45,74/26,66/20,54/90 is 2/2340
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 45,26,20,90 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(45,26,20,90) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 900
GCF(45,26,20,90) x common factors =1 x 900 = 900
LCM(45,26,20,90) = ( 45 × 26 × 20 × 90 ) / 900
LCM(45,26,20,90) = 2106000 / 900
LCM(45,26,20,90) = 2340
