Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 74,53,23,37 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 74,53,23,37 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 99,56,47,517
11 | 99, 56, 47, 517 |
47 | 9, 56, 47, 47 |
9, 56, 1, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 47 x 9 x 56 x 1 x 1 = 260568
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/260568
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 74/99,53/56,23/47,37/517 is 1/260568
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 99,56,47,517 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(99,56,47,517) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 517
GCF(99,56,47,517) x common factors =1 x 517 = 517
LCM(99,56,47,517) = ( 99 × 56 × 47 × 517 ) / 517
LCM(99,56,47,517) = 134713656 / 517
LCM(99,56,47,517) = 260568
