1,3,9,27,81
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 55,60,17,81 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 55,60,17,81 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 85,72,81,90
2 | 85, 72, 81, 90 |
3 | 85, 36, 81, 45 |
3 | 85, 12, 27, 15 |
5 | 85, 4, 9, 5 |
17, 4, 9, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 17 x 4 x 9 x 1 = 55080
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/55080
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 55/85,60/72,17/81,81/90 is 1/55080
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 85,72,81,90 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(85,72,81,90) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 810
GCF(85,72,81,90) x common factors =1 x 810 = 810
LCM(85,72,81,90) = ( 85 × 72 × 81 × 90 ) / 810
LCM(85,72,81,90) = 44614800 / 810
LCM(85,72,81,90) = 55080
