Greatest Common Factor of 36/50,21/48,38/60,31/43

Given fractions are 36/50,21/48,38/60,31/43

Formula to find GCF of Fractions is

GCF = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators

As per the formula GCF of Fractions let’s split into two parts and find the GCF of Numerators and LCM of Denominators

In the given fractions GCF of Numerators means GCF of 36,21,38,31

Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 36,21,38,31 is 1 .

LCM of Denominators means LCM of 50,48,60,43 as per the given fractions.

LCM of 50,48,60,43 is 51600 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.

Lets's calculate GCF of 36,21,38,31

So the greatest common factor 36,21,38,31 is 1.

Lets's calculate LCM of 50,48,60,43

2 50, 48, 60, 43
2 25, 24, 30, 43
3 25, 12, 15, 43
5 25, 4, 5, 43
1, 4, 5, 43

∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 1 x 4 x 5 x 43 = 51600

Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/51600

Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/50,21/48,38/60,31/43 is 1/51600

Least Common Multiple of 50,48,60,43 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 50,48,60,43 with GCF Formula

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 50,48,60,43 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(50,48,60,43) = 1

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 120

GCF(50,48,60,43) x common factors =1 x 120 = 120

LCM(50,48,60,43) = ( 50 × 48 × 60 × 43 ) / 120

LCM(50,48,60,43) = 6192000 / 120

LCM(50,48,60,43) = 51600
