1,2,4,5,8,10,16,20,40,80
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4,22,77,80 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4,22,77,80 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 70,20,28,49
2 | 70, 20, 28, 49 |
2 | 35, 10, 14, 49 |
5 | 35, 5, 7, 49 |
7 | 7, 1, 7, 49 |
1, 1, 1, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 7 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 7 = 980
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/980
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4/70,22/20,77/28,80/49 is 1/980
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 70,20,28,49 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(70,20,28,49) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1960
GCF(70,20,28,49) x common factors =1 x 1960 = 1960
LCM(70,20,28,49) = ( 70 × 20 × 28 × 49 ) / 1960
LCM(70,20,28,49) = 1920800 / 1960
LCM(70,20,28,49) = 980
