Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 28,55,74,47 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 28,55,74,47 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 38,95,84,12
2 | 38, 95, 84, 12 |
2 | 19, 95, 42, 6 |
3 | 19, 95, 21, 3 |
19 | 19, 95, 7, 1 |
1, 5, 7, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 19 x 1 x 5 x 7 x 1 = 7980
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7980
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 28/38,55/95,74/84,47/12 is 1/7980
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 38,95,84,12 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(38,95,84,12) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 456
GCF(38,95,84,12) x common factors =1 x 456 = 456
LCM(38,95,84,12) = ( 38 × 95 × 84 × 12 ) / 456
LCM(38,95,84,12) = 3638880 / 456
LCM(38,95,84,12) = 7980
