Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 34,20,28,37 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 34,20,28,37 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 48,31,44,176
2 | 48, 31, 44, 176 |
2 | 24, 31, 22, 88 |
2 | 12, 31, 11, 44 |
2 | 6, 31, 11, 22 |
11 | 3, 31, 11, 11 |
3, 31, 1, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 11 x 3 x 31 x 1 x 1 = 16368
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/16368
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 34/48,20/31,28/44,37/176 is 1/16368
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 48,31,44,176 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(48,31,44,176) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 704
GCF(48,31,44,176) x common factors =1 x 704 = 704
LCM(48,31,44,176) = ( 48 × 31 × 44 × 176 ) / 704
LCM(48,31,44,176) = 11523072 / 704
LCM(48,31,44,176) = 16368
