Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 56,48,796 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 56,48,796 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,11,671
11 | 16, 11, 671 |
16, 1, 61 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 16 x 1 x 61 = 10736
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/10736
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 56/16,48/11,796/671 is 4/10736
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 16,11,671 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,11,671) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 11
GCF(16,11,671) x common factors =1 x 11 = 11
LCM(16,11,671) = ( 16 × 11 × 671 ) / 11
LCM(16,11,671) = 118096 / 11
LCM(16,11,671) = 10736
