So the greatest common factor 24,48,40,56 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,86,99,35
2 | 36, 86, 99, 35 |
3 | 18, 43, 99, 35 |
3 | 6, 43, 33, 35 |
2, 43, 11, 35 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 2 x 43 x 11 x 35 = 595980
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/595980
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 24/36,48/86,40/99,56/35 is 8/595980
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 36,86,99,35 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,86,99,35) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 18
GCF(36,86,99,35) x common factors =1 x 18 = 18
LCM(36,86,99,35) = ( 36 × 86 × 99 × 35 ) / 18
LCM(36,86,99,35) = 10727640 / 18
LCM(36,86,99,35) = 595980
