Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 57,98,74,55 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 57,98,74,55 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 85,86,15,43
5 | 85, 86, 15, 43 |
43 | 17, 86, 3, 43 |
17, 2, 3, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 43 x 17 x 2 x 3 x 1 = 21930
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/21930
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 57/85,98/86,74/15,55/43 is 1/21930
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 85,86,15,43 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(85,86,15,43) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 215
GCF(85,86,15,43) x common factors =1 x 215 = 215
LCM(85,86,15,43) = ( 85 × 86 × 15 × 43 ) / 215
LCM(85,86,15,43) = 4714950 / 215
LCM(85,86,15,43) = 21930
