Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 40,72,48,517 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 40,72,48,517 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 89,22,92,82
2 | 89, 22, 92, 82 |
89, 11, 46, 41 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 89 x 11 x 46 x 41 = 3692788
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3692788
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 40/89,72/22,48/92,517/82 is 1/3692788
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 89,22,92,82 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(89,22,92,82) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(89,22,92,82) x common factors =1 x 4 = 4
LCM(89,22,92,82) = ( 89 × 22 × 92 × 82 ) / 4
LCM(89,22,92,82) = 14771152 / 4
LCM(89,22,92,82) = 3692788
