So the greatest common factor 38,60,87,43 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 32,48,64,553
2 | 32, 48, 64, 553 |
2 | 16, 24, 32, 553 |
2 | 8, 12, 16, 553 |
2 | 4, 6, 8, 553 |
2 | 2, 3, 4, 553 |
1, 3, 2, 553 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 1 x 3 x 2 x 553 = 106176
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/106176
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 38/32,60/48,87/64,43/553 is 1/106176
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 32,48,64,553 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(32,48,64,553) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 512
GCF(32,48,64,553) x common factors =1 x 512 = 512
LCM(32,48,64,553) = ( 32 × 48 × 64 × 553 ) / 512
LCM(32,48,64,553) = 54362112 / 512
LCM(32,48,64,553) = 106176
