Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2,68,80,778 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2,68,80,778 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,43,301,182
2 | 42, 43, 301, 182 |
7 | 21, 43, 301, 91 |
43 | 3, 43, 43, 13 |
3, 1, 1, 13 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 43 x 3 x 1 x 1 x 13 = 23478
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/23478
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2/42,68/43,80/301,778/182 is 2/23478
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 42,43,301,182 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,43,301,182) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4214
GCF(42,43,301,182) x common factors =1 x 4214 = 4214
LCM(42,43,301,182) = ( 42 × 43 × 301 × 182 ) / 4214
LCM(42,43,301,182) = 98936292 / 4214
LCM(42,43,301,182) = 23478
