So the greatest common factor 50,84,60,87 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 96,48,75,602
2 | 96, 48, 75, 602 |
2 | 48, 24, 75, 301 |
2 | 12, 24, 75, 301 |
2 | 6, 12, 75, 301 |
3 | 3, 6, 75, 301 |
1, 2, 25, 301 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 1 x 2 x 25 x 301 = 722400
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/722400
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 50/96,84/48,60/75,87/602 is 1/722400
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 96,48,75,602 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(96,48,75,602) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 288
GCF(96,48,75,602) x common factors =1 x 288 = 288
LCM(96,48,75,602) = ( 96 × 48 × 75 × 602 ) / 288
LCM(96,48,75,602) = 208051200 / 288
LCM(96,48,75,602) = 722400
