Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 97,18,31,326 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 97,18,31,326 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,92,74,20
2 | 37, 92, 74, 20 |
2 | 37, 46, 37, 10 |
37 | 37, 23, 37, 5 |
1, 23, 1, 5 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 37 x 1 x 23 x 1 x 5 = 17020
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/17020
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 97/37,18/92,31/74,326/20 is 1/17020
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 37,92,74,20 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,92,74,20) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 296
GCF(37,92,74,20) x common factors =1 x 296 = 296
LCM(37,92,74,20) = ( 37 × 92 × 74 × 20 ) / 296
LCM(37,92,74,20) = 5037920 / 296
LCM(37,92,74,20) = 17020
