1,7,49
Factors of 14
List of positive integer factors of 14 that divides 14 without a remainder.
1,2,7,14
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 61,60,49,14 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 61,60,49,14 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,86,17,505
2 | 42, 86, 17, 505 |
21, 43, 17, 505 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 21 x 43 x 17 x 505 = 15504510
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/15504510
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 61/42,60/86,49/17,14/505 is 1/15504510
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 42,86,17,505 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,86,17,505) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(42,86,17,505) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(42,86,17,505) = ( 42 × 86 × 17 × 505 ) / 2
LCM(42,86,17,505) = 31009020 / 2
LCM(42,86,17,505) = 15504510
