Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 42,65,84,98 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 42,65,84,98 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 75,93,53,901
3 | 75, 93, 53, 901 |
53 | 25, 31, 53, 901 |
25, 31, 1, 17 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 53 x 25 x 31 x 1 x 17 = 2094825
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2094825
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 42/75,65/93,84/53,98/901 is 1/2094825
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 75,93,53,901 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(75,93,53,901) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 159
GCF(75,93,53,901) x common factors =1 x 159 = 159
LCM(75,93,53,901) = ( 75 × 93 × 53 × 901 ) / 159
LCM(75,93,53,901) = 333077175 / 159
LCM(75,93,53,901) = 2094825
