Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 59,71,63,449 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 59,71,63,449 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 38,79,16,86
2 | 38, 79, 16, 86 |
19, 79, 8, 43 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 19 x 79 x 8 x 43 = 1032688
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1032688
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 59/38,71/79,63/16,449/86 is 1/1032688
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 38,79,16,86 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(38,79,16,86) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(38,79,16,86) x common factors =1 x 4 = 4
LCM(38,79,16,86) = ( 38 × 79 × 16 × 86 ) / 4
LCM(38,79,16,86) = 4130752 / 4
LCM(38,79,16,86) = 1032688
