1,2,3,4,6,12,23,46,69,92,138,276
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 60,43,48,276 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 60,43,48,276 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 23,69,23,17
23 | 23, 69, 23, 17 |
1, 3, 1, 17 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 23 x 1 x 3 x 1 x 17 = 1173
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1173
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 60/23,43/69,48/23,276/17 is 1/1173
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 23,69,23,17 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(23,69,23,17) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 529
GCF(23,69,23,17) x common factors =1 x 529 = 529
LCM(23,69,23,17) = ( 23 × 69 × 23 × 17 ) / 529
LCM(23,69,23,17) = 620517 / 529
LCM(23,69,23,17) = 1173
