Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 60,68,74,24 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 60,68,74,24 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 43,88,43,56
2 | 43, 88, 43, 56 |
2 | 43, 44, 43, 28 |
2 | 43, 22, 43, 14 |
43 | 43, 11, 43, 7 |
1, 11, 1, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 43 x 1 x 11 x 1 x 7 = 26488
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/26488
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 60/43,68/88,74/43,24/56 is 2/26488
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 43,88,43,56 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(43,88,43,56) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 344
GCF(43,88,43,56) x common factors =1 x 344 = 344
LCM(43,88,43,56) = ( 43 × 88 × 43 × 56 ) / 344
LCM(43,88,43,56) = 9111872 / 344
LCM(43,88,43,56) = 26488
