Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8,8,34,62 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8,8,34,62 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 84,10,60,167
2 | 84, 10, 60, 167 |
2 | 42, 5, 30, 167 |
3 | 21, 5, 15, 167 |
5 | 7, 5, 5, 167 |
7, 1, 1, 167 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 1 x 1 x 167 = 70140
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/70140
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8/84,8/10,34/60,62/167 is 2/70140
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 84,10,60,167 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(84,10,60,167) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 120
GCF(84,10,60,167) x common factors =1 x 120 = 120
LCM(84,10,60,167) = ( 84 × 10 × 60 × 167 ) / 120
LCM(84,10,60,167) = 8416800 / 120
LCM(84,10,60,167) = 70140
