Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 40,79,68,457 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 40,79,68,457 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 75,12,50,31
2 | 75, 12, 50, 31 |
3 | 75, 6, 25, 31 |
5 | 25, 2, 25, 31 |
5 | 5, 2, 5, 31 |
1, 2, 1, 31 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 5 x 5 x 1 x 2 x 1 x 31 = 9300
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/9300
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 40/75,79/12,68/50,457/31 is 1/9300
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 75,12,50,31 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(75,12,50,31) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 150
GCF(75,12,50,31) x common factors =1 x 150 = 150
LCM(75,12,50,31) = ( 75 × 12 × 50 × 31 ) / 150
LCM(75,12,50,31) = 1395000 / 150
LCM(75,12,50,31) = 9300
