Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 40,90,81,94 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 40,90,81,94 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 13,97,28,21
7 | 13, 97, 28, 21 |
13, 97, 4, 3 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 13 x 97 x 4 x 3 = 105924
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/105924
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 40/13,90/97,81/28,94/21 is 1/105924
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 13,97,28,21 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(13,97,28,21) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 7
GCF(13,97,28,21) x common factors =1 x 7 = 7
LCM(13,97,28,21) = ( 13 × 97 × 28 × 21 ) / 7
LCM(13,97,28,21) = 741468 / 7
LCM(13,97,28,21) = 105924
