Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 44,79,66,61 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 44,79,66,61 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,78,13,524
2 | 16, 78, 13, 524 |
2 | 8, 39, 13, 262 |
13 | 4, 39, 13, 131 |
4, 3, 1, 131 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 13 x 4 x 3 x 1 x 131 = 81744
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/81744
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 44/16,79/78,66/13,61/524 is 1/81744
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 16,78,13,524 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,78,13,524) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 104
GCF(16,78,13,524) x common factors =1 x 104 = 104
LCM(16,78,13,524) = ( 16 × 78 × 13 × 524 ) / 104
LCM(16,78,13,524) = 8501376 / 104
LCM(16,78,13,524) = 81744
