Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 44,66,52,636 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 44,66,52,636 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 95,72,21,36
2 | 95, 72, 21, 36 |
2 | 95, 36, 21, 18 |
3 | 95, 9, 21, 18 |
3 | 95, 3, 7, 6 |
95, 1, 7, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 95 x 1 x 7 x 2 = 47880
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/47880
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 44/95,66/72,52/21,636/36 is 2/47880
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 95,72,21,36 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(95,72,21,36) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 108
GCF(95,72,21,36) x common factors =1 x 108 = 108
LCM(95,72,21,36) = ( 95 × 72 × 21 × 36 ) / 108
LCM(95,72,21,36) = 5171040 / 108
LCM(95,72,21,36) = 47880
