Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 88,45,98,15 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 88,45,98,15 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 81,37,74,201
3 | 81, 37, 74, 201 |
37 | 27, 37, 74, 67 |
27, 1, 2, 67 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 37 x 27 x 1 x 2 x 67 = 401598
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/401598
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 88/81,45/37,98/74,15/201 is 1/401598
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 81,37,74,201 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(81,37,74,201) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 111
GCF(81,37,74,201) x common factors =1 x 111 = 111
LCM(81,37,74,201) = ( 81 × 37 × 74 × 201 ) / 111
LCM(81,37,74,201) = 44577378 / 111
LCM(81,37,74,201) = 401598
