Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 40,66,48,99 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 40,66,48,99 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,86,86,676
2 | 41, 86, 86, 676 |
43 | 41, 43, 43, 338 |
41, 1, 1, 338 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 43 x 41 x 1 x 1 x 338 = 1191788
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1191788
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 40/41,66/86,48/86,99/676 is 1/1191788
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 41,86,86,676 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,86,86,676) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 172
GCF(41,86,86,676) x common factors =1 x 172 = 172
LCM(41,86,86,676) = ( 41 × 86 × 86 × 676 ) / 172
LCM(41,86,86,676) = 204987536 / 172
LCM(41,86,86,676) = 1191788
