So the greatest common factor 57,25,42,85 is 1.

Lets's calculate LCM of 72,16,39,178

2 72, 16, 39, 178
2 36, 8, 39, 89
2 18, 4, 39, 89
3 9, 2, 39, 89
3, 2, 13, 89

∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 2 x 13 x 89 = 166608

Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/166608

Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 57/72,25/16,42/39,85/178 is 1/166608

Least Common Multiple of 72,16,39,178 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 72,16,39,178 with GCF Formula

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 72,16,39,178 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(72,16,39,178) = 1

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 48

GCF(72,16,39,178) x common factors =1 x 48 = 48

LCM(72,16,39,178) = ( 72 × 16 × 39 × 178 ) / 48

LCM(72,16,39,178) = 7997184 / 48

LCM(72,16,39,178) = 166608
