Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 72,55,46,13 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 72,55,46,13 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 76,69,78,858
2 | 76, 69, 78, 858 |
3 | 38, 69, 39, 429 |
13 | 38, 23, 13, 143 |
38, 23, 1, 11 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 13 x 38 x 23 x 1 x 11 = 749892
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/749892
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 72/76,55/69,46/78,13/858 is 1/749892
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 76,69,78,858 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(76,69,78,858) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 468
GCF(76,69,78,858) x common factors =1 x 468 = 468
LCM(76,69,78,858) = ( 76 × 69 × 78 × 858 ) / 468
LCM(76,69,78,858) = 350949456 / 468
LCM(76,69,78,858) = 749892
