So the greatest common factor 17,36,26,54 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 57,19,42,19
| 3 | 57, 19, 42, 19 |
| 19 | 19, 19, 14, 19 |
| 1, 1, 14, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 19 x 1 x 1 x 14 x 1 = 798
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/798
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 17/57,36/19,26/42,54/19 is 1/798
Least Common Multiple of 57,19,42,19 with GCF Formula
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 57,19,42,19 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(57,19,42,19) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1083
GCF(57,19,42,19) x common factors =1 x 1083 = 1083
LCM(57,19,42,19) = ( 57 × 19 × 42 × 19 ) / 1083
LCM(57,19,42,19) = 864234 / 1083
LCM(57,19,42,19) = 798
