1,19
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 72,21,31,19 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 72,21,31,19 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 56,57,65,868
2 | 56, 57, 65, 868 |
2 | 28, 57, 65, 434 |
7 | 14, 57, 65, 217 |
2, 57, 65, 31 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 7 x 2 x 57 x 65 x 31 = 6431880
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6431880
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 72/56,21/57,31/65,19/868 is 1/6431880
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 56,57,65,868 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(56,57,65,868) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 28
GCF(56,57,65,868) x common factors =1 x 28 = 28
LCM(56,57,65,868) = ( 56 × 57 × 65 × 868 ) / 28
LCM(56,57,65,868) = 180092640 / 28
LCM(56,57,65,868) = 6431880
