:1,2,7,14
Now, list down the factors of 18
:1,2,3,6,9,18
Now, list down the factors of 537
:1,3,179,537
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 14,18,537 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 14,18,537 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 77,98,44
2 | 77, 98, 44 |
7 | 77, 49, 22 |
11 | 11, 7, 22 |
1, 7, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 11 x 1 x 7 x 2 = 2156
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2156
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 14/77,18/98,537/44 is 1/2156
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 77,98,44 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(77,98,44) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 154
GCF(77,98,44) x common factors =1 x 154 = 154
LCM(77,98,44) = ( 77 × 98 × 44 ) / 154
LCM(77,98,44) = 332024 / 154
LCM(77,98,44) = 2156
