Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 83,66,57,29 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 83,66,57,29 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 91,96,84,21
2 | 91, 96, 84, 21 |
2 | 91, 48, 42, 21 |
3 | 91, 24, 21, 21 |
7 | 91, 8, 7, 7 |
13, 8, 1, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 13 x 8 x 1 x 1 = 8736
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/8736
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 83/91,66/96,57/84,29/21 is 1/8736
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 91,96,84,21 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(91,96,84,21) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1764
GCF(91,96,84,21) x common factors =1 x 1764 = 1764
LCM(91,96,84,21) = ( 91 × 96 × 84 × 21 ) / 1764
LCM(91,96,84,21) = 15410304 / 1764
LCM(91,96,84,21) = 8736
