Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 97,73,58,307 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 97,73,58,307 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 87,42,10,29
2 | 87, 42, 10, 29 |
3 | 87, 21, 5, 29 |
29 | 29, 7, 5, 29 |
1, 7, 5, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 29 x 1 x 7 x 5 x 1 = 6090
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6090
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 97/87,73/42,58/10,307/29 is 1/6090
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 87,42,10,29 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,42,10,29) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 174
GCF(87,42,10,29) x common factors =1 x 174 = 174
LCM(87,42,10,29) = ( 87 × 42 × 10 × 29 ) / 174
LCM(87,42,10,29) = 1059660 / 174
LCM(87,42,10,29) = 6090
