So the greatest common factor 2,2,6,60 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,65,43,172
2 | 36, 65, 43, 172 |
2 | 18, 65, 43, 86 |
43 | 9, 65, 43, 43 |
9, 65, 1, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 43 x 9 x 65 x 1 x 1 = 100620
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/100620
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2/36,2/65,6/43,60/172 is 2/100620
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 36,65,43,172 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,65,43,172) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 172
GCF(36,65,43,172) x common factors =1 x 172 = 172
LCM(36,65,43,172) = ( 36 × 65 × 43 × 172 ) / 172
LCM(36,65,43,172) = 17306640 / 172
LCM(36,65,43,172) = 100620
