Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4,15,39,856 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4,15,39,856 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,38,836,418
2 | 20, 38, 836, 418 |
2 | 10, 19, 418, 209 |
11 | 5, 19, 209, 209 |
19 | 5, 19, 19, 19 |
5, 1, 1, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 11 x 19 x 5 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 4180
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4180
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4/20,15/38,39/836,856/418 is 1/4180
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 20,38,836,418 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,38,836,418) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 31768
GCF(20,38,836,418) x common factors =2 x 31768 = 63536
LCM(20,38,836,418) = ( 20 × 38 × 836 × 418 ) / 63536
LCM(20,38,836,418) = 265580480 / 63536
LCM(20,38,836,418) = 4180
