Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 96,66,80,44 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 96,66,80,44 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 57,48,72,140
2 | 57, 48, 72, 140 |
2 | 57, 24, 36, 70 |
2 | 57, 12, 18, 35 |
3 | 57, 6, 9, 35 |
19, 2, 3, 35 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 19 x 2 x 3 x 35 = 95760
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/95760
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 96/57,66/48,80/72,44/140 is 2/95760
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 57,48,72,140 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(57,48,72,140) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 288
GCF(57,48,72,140) x common factors =1 x 288 = 288
LCM(57,48,72,140) = ( 57 × 48 × 72 × 140 ) / 288
LCM(57,48,72,140) = 27578880 / 288
LCM(57,48,72,140) = 95760
