Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 44,72,28,722 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 44,72,28,722 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 46,39,41,99
3 | 46, 39, 41, 99 |
46, 13, 41, 33 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 46 x 13 x 41 x 33 = 2427282
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2427282
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 44/46,72/39,28/41,722/99 is 2/2427282
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 46,39,41,99 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(46,39,41,99) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(46,39,41,99) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(46,39,41,99) = ( 46 × 39 × 41 × 99 ) / 3
LCM(46,39,41,99) = 7281846 / 3
LCM(46,39,41,99) = 2427282
