Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 91,98,49,72 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 91,98,49,72 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,94,66,72
2 | 36, 94, 66, 72 |
2 | 18, 47, 33, 36 |
3 | 9, 47, 33, 18 |
3 | 3, 47, 11, 6 |
1, 47, 11, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 1 x 47 x 11 x 2 = 37224
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/37224
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 91/36,98/94,49/66,72/72 is 1/37224
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 36,94,66,72 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,94,66,72) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 216
GCF(36,94,66,72) x common factors =2 x 216 = 432
LCM(36,94,66,72) = ( 36 × 94 × 66 × 72 ) / 432
LCM(36,94,66,72) = 16080768 / 432
LCM(36,94,66,72) = 37224
