Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 39,26,90,821 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 39,26,90,821 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 87,18,29,40
2 | 87, 18, 29, 40 |
3 | 87, 9, 29, 20 |
29 | 29, 3, 29, 20 |
1, 3, 1, 20 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 29 x 1 x 3 x 1 x 20 = 10440
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/10440
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 39/87,26/18,90/29,821/40 is 1/10440
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 87,18,29,40 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,18,29,40) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 174
GCF(87,18,29,40) x common factors =1 x 174 = 174
LCM(87,18,29,40) = ( 87 × 18 × 29 × 40 ) / 174
LCM(87,18,29,40) = 1816560 / 174
LCM(87,18,29,40) = 10440
