Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 84,89,77,42 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 84,89,77,42 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 21,56,29,107
7 | 21, 56, 29, 107 |
3, 8, 29, 107 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 3 x 8 x 29 x 107 = 521304
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/521304
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 84/21,89/56,77/29,42/107 is 1/521304
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 21,56,29,107 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(21,56,29,107) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 7
GCF(21,56,29,107) x common factors =1 x 7 = 7
LCM(21,56,29,107) = ( 21 × 56 × 29 × 107 ) / 7
LCM(21,56,29,107) = 3649128 / 7
LCM(21,56,29,107) = 521304
