Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 89,82,60,178 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 89,82,60,178 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 68,75,42,28
2 | 68, 75, 42, 28 |
2 | 34, 75, 21, 14 |
3 | 17, 75, 21, 7 |
7 | 17, 25, 7, 7 |
17, 25, 1, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 17 x 25 x 1 x 1 = 35700
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/35700
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 89/68,82/75,60/42,178/28 is 1/35700
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 68,75,42,28 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(68,75,42,28) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 168
GCF(68,75,42,28) x common factors =1 x 168 = 168
LCM(68,75,42,28) = ( 68 × 75 × 42 × 28 ) / 168
LCM(68,75,42,28) = 5997600 / 168
LCM(68,75,42,28) = 35700
