Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 84,60,54,37 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 84,60,54,37 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 78,69,63,46
2 | 78, 69, 63, 46 |
3 | 39, 69, 63, 23 |
23 | 13, 23, 21, 23 |
13, 1, 21, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 23 x 13 x 1 x 21 x 1 = 37674
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/37674
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 84/78,60/69,54/63,37/46 is 1/37674
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 78,69,63,46 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,69,63,46) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 414
GCF(78,69,63,46) x common factors =1 x 414 = 414
LCM(78,69,63,46) = ( 78 × 69 × 63 × 46 ) / 414
LCM(78,69,63,46) = 15597036 / 414
LCM(78,69,63,46) = 37674
