Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 49,29,30,20 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 49,29,30,20 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 88,52,26,60
2 | 88, 52, 26, 60 |
2 | 44, 26, 13, 30 |
13 | 22, 13, 13, 15 |
22, 1, 1, 15 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 13 x 22 x 1 x 1 x 15 = 17160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/17160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 49/88,29/52,30/26,20/60 is 1/17160
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 88,52,26,60 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(88,52,26,60) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 208
GCF(88,52,26,60) x common factors =2 x 208 = 416
LCM(88,52,26,60) = ( 88 × 52 × 26 × 60 ) / 416
LCM(88,52,26,60) = 7138560 / 416
LCM(88,52,26,60) = 17160
