Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 72,28,66,96 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 72,28,66,96 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 81,83,94,11
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6951582
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/6951582
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 72/81,28/83,66/94,96/11 is 2/6951582
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 81,83,94,11 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(81,83,94,11) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(81,83,94,11) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(81,83,94,11) = ( 81 × 83 × 94 × 11 ) / 1
LCM(81,83,94,11) = 6951582 / 1
LCM(81,83,94,11) = 6951582
