Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 41,42,84,33 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 41,42,84,33 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 52,47,68,587
2 | 52, 47, 68, 587 |
2 | 26, 47, 34, 587 |
13, 47, 17, 587 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 13 x 47 x 17 x 587 = 24388676
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/24388676
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 41/52,42/47,84/68,33/587 is 1/24388676
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 52,47,68,587 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(52,47,68,587) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(52,47,68,587) x common factors =1 x 4 = 4
LCM(52,47,68,587) = ( 52 × 47 × 68 × 587 ) / 4
LCM(52,47,68,587) = 97554704 / 4
LCM(52,47,68,587) = 24388676
