Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5,7,30,52 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5,7,30,52 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 29,28,49,560
2 | 29, 28, 49, 560 |
2 | 29, 14, 49, 280 |
7 | 29, 7, 49, 140 |
29, 1, 7, 20 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 7 x 29 x 1 x 7 x 20 = 113680
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/113680
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5/29,7/28,30/49,52/560 is 1/113680
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 29,28,49,560 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(29,28,49,560) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 196
GCF(29,28,49,560) x common factors =1 x 196 = 196
LCM(29,28,49,560) = ( 29 × 28 × 49 × 560 ) / 196
LCM(29,28,49,560) = 22281280 / 196
LCM(29,28,49,560) = 113680
