Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 48,97,49,662 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 48,97,49,662 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,78,67,90
2 | 72, 78, 67, 90 |
3 | 36, 39, 67, 45 |
3 | 12, 13, 67, 15 |
4, 13, 67, 5 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 4 x 13 x 67 x 5 = 313560
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/313560
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 48/72,97/78,49/67,662/90 is 1/313560
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 72,78,67,90 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,78,67,90) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 108
GCF(72,78,67,90) x common factors =1 x 108 = 108
LCM(72,78,67,90) = ( 72 × 78 × 67 × 90 ) / 108
LCM(72,78,67,90) = 33864480 / 108
LCM(72,78,67,90) = 313560
