Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 57,52,42,63 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 57,52,42,63 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 56,44,64,76
2 | 56, 44, 64, 76 |
2 | 28, 22, 32, 38 |
2 | 14, 11, 16, 19 |
7, 11, 8, 19 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 11 x 8 x 19 = 93632
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/93632
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 57/56,52/44,42/64,63/76 is 1/93632
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 56,44,64,76 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(56,44,64,76) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 32
GCF(56,44,64,76) x common factors =4 x 32 = 128
LCM(56,44,64,76) = ( 56 × 44 × 64 × 76 ) / 128
LCM(56,44,64,76) = 11984896 / 128
LCM(56,44,64,76) = 93632
