Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 68,80,99,393 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 68,80,99,393 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 86,74,90,90
2 | 86, 74, 90, 90 |
3 | 43, 37, 45, 45 |
3 | 43, 37, 15, 15 |
5 | 43, 37, 5, 5 |
43, 37, 1, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 43 x 37 x 1 x 1 = 143190
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/143190
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 68/86,80/74,99/90,393/90 is 1/143190
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 86,74,90,90 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(86,74,90,90) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 180
GCF(86,74,90,90) x common factors =2 x 180 = 360
LCM(86,74,90,90) = ( 86 × 74 × 90 × 90 ) / 360
LCM(86,74,90,90) = 51548400 / 360
LCM(86,74,90,90) = 143190
