Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 68,50,81,58 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 68,50,81,58 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 55,30,86,242
2 | 55, 30, 86, 242 |
5 | 55, 15, 43, 121 |
11 | 11, 3, 43, 121 |
1, 3, 43, 11 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 11 x 1 x 3 x 43 x 11 = 156090
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/156090
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 68/55,50/30,81/86,58/242 is 1/156090
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 55,30,86,242 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(55,30,86,242) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 220
GCF(55,30,86,242) x common factors =1 x 220 = 220
LCM(55,30,86,242) = ( 55 × 30 × 86 × 242 ) / 220
LCM(55,30,86,242) = 34339800 / 220
LCM(55,30,86,242) = 156090
