So the greatest common factor 86,81,87,36 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 27,86,46,541
2 | 27, 86, 46, 541 |
27, 43, 23, 541 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 27 x 43 x 23 x 541 = 28892646
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/28892646
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 86/27,81/86,87/46,36/541 is 1/28892646
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 27,86,46,541 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(27,86,46,541) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(27,86,46,541) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(27,86,46,541) = ( 27 × 86 × 46 × 541 ) / 2
LCM(27,86,46,541) = 57785292 / 2
LCM(27,86,46,541) = 28892646
