Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 72,42,56,87 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 72,42,56,87 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 22,13,13,213
13 | 22, 13, 13, 213 |
22, 1, 1, 213 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 13 x 22 x 1 x 1 x 213 = 60918
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/60918
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 72/22,42/13,56/13,87/213 is 1/60918
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 22,13,13,213 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(22,13,13,213) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 13
GCF(22,13,13,213) x common factors =1 x 13 = 13
LCM(22,13,13,213) = ( 22 × 13 × 13 × 213 ) / 13
LCM(22,13,13,213) = 791934 / 13
LCM(22,13,13,213) = 60918
