Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9,55,47,465 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9,55,47,465 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 78,78,156,192
2 | 78, 78, 156, 192 |
2 | 39, 39, 78, 96 |
3 | 39, 39, 39, 48 |
13 | 13, 13, 13, 16 |
1, 1, 1, 16 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 13 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 16 = 2496
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2496
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9/78,55/78,47/156,465/192 is 1/2496
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 78,78,156,192 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,78,156,192) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 12168
GCF(78,78,156,192) x common factors =6 x 12168 = 73008
LCM(78,78,156,192) = ( 78 × 78 × 156 × 192 ) / 73008
LCM(78,78,156,192) = 182227968 / 73008
LCM(78,78,156,192) = 2496
