Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5,21,75,812 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5,21,75,812 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 56,88,638,863
2 | 56, 88, 638, 863 |
2 | 28, 44, 319, 863 |
2 | 14, 22, 319, 863 |
11 | 7, 11, 319, 863 |
7, 1, 29, 863 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 11 x 7 x 1 x 29 x 863 = 15416632
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/15416632
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5/56,21/88,75/638,812/863 is 1/15416632
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 56,88,638,863 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(56,88,638,863) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 176
GCF(56,88,638,863) x common factors =1 x 176 = 176
LCM(56,88,638,863) = ( 56 × 88 × 638 × 863 ) / 176
LCM(56,88,638,863) = 2713327232 / 176
LCM(56,88,638,863) = 15416632
