Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 96,20,81,12 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 96,20,81,12 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 43,86,42,975
2 | 43, 86, 42, 975 |
3 | 43, 43, 21, 975 |
43 | 43, 43, 7, 325 |
1, 1, 7, 325 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 43 x 1 x 1 x 7 x 325 = 586950
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/586950
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 96/43,20/86,81/42,12/975 is 1/586950
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 43,86,42,975 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(43,86,42,975) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 258
GCF(43,86,42,975) x common factors =1 x 258 = 258
LCM(43,86,42,975) = ( 43 × 86 × 42 × 975 ) / 258
LCM(43,86,42,975) = 151433100 / 258
LCM(43,86,42,975) = 586950
