Lets's calculate LCM of 12,20,20,72
| 2 | 12, 20, 20, 72 |
| 2 | 6, 10, 10, 36 |
| 3 | 3, 5, 5, 18 |
| 5 | 1, 5, 5, 6 |
| 1, 1, 1, 6 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 6 = 360
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/360
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 19/12,50/20,48/20,31/72 is 1/360
Least Common Multiple of 12,20,20,72 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 12,20,20,72 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,20,20,72) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 240
GCF(12,20,20,72) x common factors =4 x 240 = 960
LCM(12,20,20,72) = ( 12 × 20 × 20 × 72 ) / 960
LCM(12,20,20,72) = 345600 / 960
LCM(12,20,20,72) = 360
