Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 73,48,28,95 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 73,48,28,95 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 79,72,81,684
2 | 79, 72, 81, 684 |
2 | 79, 36, 81, 342 |
3 | 79, 18, 81, 171 |
3 | 79, 6, 27, 57 |
79, 2, 9, 19 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 79 x 2 x 9 x 19 = 972648
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/972648
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 73/79,48/72,28/81,95/684 is 1/972648
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 79,72,81,684 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(79,72,81,684) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 324
GCF(79,72,81,684) x common factors =1 x 324 = 324
LCM(79,72,81,684) = ( 79 × 72 × 81 × 684 ) / 324
LCM(79,72,81,684) = 315137952 / 324
LCM(79,72,81,684) = 972648
