Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 39,95,48,18 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 39,95,48,18 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,29,50,145
2 | 16, 29, 50, 145 |
5 | 8, 29, 25, 145 |
29 | 8, 29, 5, 29 |
8, 1, 5, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 29 x 8 x 1 x 5 x 1 = 11600
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/11600
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 39/16,95/29,48/50,18/145 is 1/11600
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 16,29,50,145 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,29,50,145) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 290
GCF(16,29,50,145) x common factors =1 x 290 = 290
LCM(16,29,50,145) = ( 16 × 29 × 50 × 145 ) / 290
LCM(16,29,50,145) = 3364000 / 290
LCM(16,29,50,145) = 11600
