List of positive integer factors of 38 that divides 38 without a remainder.
1,2,19,38
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 51,84,14,38 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 51,84,14,38 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 64,27,50,24
2 | 64, 27, 50, 24 |
2 | 32, 27, 25, 12 |
2 | 16, 27, 25, 6 |
3 | 8, 27, 25, 3 |
8, 9, 25, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 8 x 9 x 25 x 1 = 43200
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/43200
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 51/64,84/27,14/50,38/24 is 1/43200
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 64,27,50,24 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(64,27,50,24) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 48
GCF(64,27,50,24) x common factors =1 x 48 = 48
LCM(64,27,50,24) = ( 64 × 27 × 50 × 24 ) / 48
LCM(64,27,50,24) = 2073600 / 48
LCM(64,27,50,24) = 43200
