Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 28,74,10,81 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 28,74,10,81 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 24,18,24,55
2 | 24, 18, 24, 55 |
2 | 12, 9, 12, 55 |
2 | 6, 9, 6, 55 |
3 | 3, 9, 3, 55 |
1, 1, 3, 55 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 1 x 1 x 3 x 55 = 3960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 28/24,74/18,10/24,81/55 is 1/3960
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 24,18,24,55 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(24,18,24,55) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 144
GCF(24,18,24,55) x common factors =1 x 144 = 144
LCM(24,18,24,55) = ( 24 × 18 × 24 × 55 ) / 144
LCM(24,18,24,55) = 570240 / 144
LCM(24,18,24,55) = 3960
