1,13,17,221
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5,50,15,221 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5,50,15,221 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 24,28,112,731
2 | 24, 28, 112, 731 |
2 | 12, 14, 56, 731 |
2 | 6, 7, 28, 731 |
7 | 3, 7, 14, 731 |
3, 1, 2, 731 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 3 x 1 x 2 x 731 = 245616
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/245616
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5/24,50/28,15/112,221/731 is 1/245616
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 24,28,112,731 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(24,28,112,731) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 224
GCF(24,28,112,731) x common factors =1 x 224 = 224
LCM(24,28,112,731) = ( 24 × 28 × 112 × 731 ) / 224
LCM(24,28,112,731) = 55017984 / 224
LCM(24,28,112,731) = 245616
