1,3,29,87
Factors of 73
List of positive integer factors of 73 that divides 73 without a remainder.
1,73
Factors of 71
List of positive integer factors of 71 that divides 71 without a remainder.
1,71
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 45,87,73,71 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 45,87,73,71 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 69,58,61,86
2 | 69, 58, 61, 86 |
69, 29, 61, 43 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 69 x 29 x 61 x 43 = 10497246
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/10497246
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 45/69,87/58,73/61,71/86 is 1/10497246
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 69,58,61,86 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(69,58,61,86) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(69,58,61,86) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(69,58,61,86) = ( 69 × 58 × 61 × 86 ) / 2
LCM(69,58,61,86) = 20994492 / 2
LCM(69,58,61,86) = 10497246
