So the greatest common factor 38,14,18,63 is 1.

Lets's calculate LCM of 36,16,42,474

2 36, 16, 42, 474
2 18, 8, 21, 237
3 9, 4, 21, 237
3, 4, 7, 79

∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 4 x 7 x 79 = 79632

Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/79632

Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 38/36,14/16,18/42,63/474 is 1/79632

Least Common Multiple of 36,16,42,474 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 36,16,42,474 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 36,16,42,474 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(36,16,42,474) = 2

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 72

GCF(36,16,42,474) x common factors =2 x 72 = 144

LCM(36,16,42,474) = ( 36 × 16 × 42 × 474 ) / 144

LCM(36,16,42,474) = 11467008 / 144

LCM(36,16,42,474) = 79632
