Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5,42,72,308 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5,42,72,308 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 43,49,797,286
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 480273794
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/480273794
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5/43,42/49,72/797,308/286 is 1/480273794
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 43,49,797,286 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(43,49,797,286) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(43,49,797,286) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(43,49,797,286) = ( 43 × 49 × 797 × 286 ) / 1
LCM(43,49,797,286) = 480273794 / 1
LCM(43,49,797,286) = 480273794
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
