Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 87,23,97,99 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 87,23,97,99 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,46,12,948
2 | 16, 46, 12, 948 |
2 | 8, 23, 6, 474 |
3 | 4, 23, 3, 237 |
4, 23, 1, 79 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 23 x 1 x 79 = 87216
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/87216
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 87/16,23/46,97/12,99/948 is 1/87216
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 16,46,12,948 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,46,12,948) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 48
GCF(16,46,12,948) x common factors =2 x 48 = 96
LCM(16,46,12,948) = ( 16 × 46 × 12 × 948 ) / 96
LCM(16,46,12,948) = 8372736 / 96
LCM(16,46,12,948) = 87216
