We found the factors 74,42,77,84 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 74,42,77,84 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 24,89,53,229
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 25924632
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/25924632
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 74/24,42/89,77/53,84/229 is 1/25924632
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 24,89,53,229 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(24,89,53,229) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(24,89,53,229) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(24,89,53,229) = ( 24 × 89 × 53 × 229 ) / 1
LCM(24,89,53,229) = 25924632 / 1
LCM(24,89,53,229) = 25924632
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
