Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 51,21,71,51,126,65,17,832,86,79 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 51,21,71,51,126,65,17,832,86,79 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 8,1,8,5,6,9,2,1,1,8
2 | 8, 1, 8, 5, 6, 9, 2, 1, 1, 8 |
2 | 4, 1, 4, 5, 3, 9, 1, 1, 1, 4 |
2 | 2, 1, 2, 5, 3, 9, 1, 1, 1, 2 |
3 | 1, 1, 1, 5, 3, 9, 1, 1, 1, 1 |
1, 1, 1, 5, 1, 3, 1, 1, 1, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 5 x 1 x 3 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 360
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/360
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 51/8,21/1,71/8,51/5,126/6,65/9,17/2,832/1,86/1,79/8 is 1/360
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 8,1,8,5,6,9,2,1,1,8 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(8,1,8,5,6,9,2,1,1,8) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 768
GCF(8,1,8,5,6,9,2,1,1,8) x common factors =1 x 768 = 768
LCM(8,1,8,5,6,9,2,1,1,8) = ( 8 × 1 × 8 × 5 × 6 × 9 × 2 × 1 × 1 × 8 ) / 768
LCM(8,1,8,5,6,9,2,1,1,8) = 276480 / 768
LCM(8,1,8,5,6,9,2,1,1,8) = 360
