Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 76,37,97,74 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 76,37,97,74 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 34,31,85,986
2 | 34, 31, 85, 986 |
17 | 17, 31, 85, 493 |
1, 31, 5, 29 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 17 x 1 x 31 x 5 x 29 = 152830
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/152830
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 76/34,37/31,97/85,74/986 is 1/152830
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 34,31,85,986 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(34,31,85,986) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 578
GCF(34,31,85,986) x common factors =1 x 578 = 578
LCM(34,31,85,986) = ( 34 × 31 × 85 × 986 ) / 578
LCM(34,31,85,986) = 88335740 / 578
LCM(34,31,85,986) = 152830
