Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 67,42,36,59 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 67,42,36,59 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,39,33,227
3 | 15, 39, 33, 227 |
5, 13, 11, 227 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 5 x 13 x 11 x 227 = 486915
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/486915
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 67/15,42/39,36/33,59/227 is 1/486915
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 15,39,33,227 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,39,33,227) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 9
GCF(15,39,33,227) x common factors =1 x 9 = 9
LCM(15,39,33,227) = ( 15 × 39 × 33 × 227 ) / 9
LCM(15,39,33,227) = 4382235 / 9
LCM(15,39,33,227) = 486915
