Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 42,56,36,904 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 42,56,36,904 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 76,57,29,99
3 | 76, 57, 29, 99 |
19 | 76, 19, 29, 33 |
4, 1, 29, 33 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 19 x 4 x 1 x 29 x 33 = 218196
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/218196
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 42/76,56/57,36/29,904/99 is 2/218196
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 76,57,29,99 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(76,57,29,99) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 57
GCF(76,57,29,99) x common factors =1 x 57 = 57
LCM(76,57,29,99) = ( 76 × 57 × 29 × 99 ) / 57
LCM(76,57,29,99) = 12437172 / 57
LCM(76,57,29,99) = 218196
