So the greatest common factor 94,80,46,79 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 64,30,48,140
2 | 64, 30, 48, 140 |
2 | 32, 15, 24, 70 |
2 | 16, 15, 12, 35 |
2 | 8, 15, 6, 35 |
3 | 4, 15, 3, 35 |
5 | 4, 5, 1, 35 |
4, 1, 1, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 4 x 1 x 1 x 7 = 6720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 94/64,80/30,46/48,79/140 is 1/6720
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 64,30,48,140 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(64,30,48,140) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 960
GCF(64,30,48,140) x common factors =2 x 960 = 1920
LCM(64,30,48,140) = ( 64 × 30 × 48 × 140 ) / 1920
LCM(64,30,48,140) = 12902400 / 1920
LCM(64,30,48,140) = 6720
