Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9,37,91,238 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9,37,91,238 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,39,856,362
2 | 42, 39, 856, 362 |
3 | 21, 39, 428, 181 |
7, 13, 428, 181 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 7 x 13 x 428 x 181 = 42297528
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/42297528
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9/42,37/39,91/856,238/362 is 1/42297528
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 42,39,856,362 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,39,856,362) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 12
GCF(42,39,856,362) x common factors =1 x 12 = 12
LCM(42,39,856,362) = ( 42 × 39 × 856 × 362 ) / 12
LCM(42,39,856,362) = 507570336 / 12
LCM(42,39,856,362) = 42297528
