Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 36,12,54,43 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 36,12,54,43 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 55,12,96,249
2 | 55, 12, 96, 249 |
2 | 55, 6, 48, 249 |
3 | 55, 3, 24, 249 |
55, 1, 8, 83 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 55 x 1 x 8 x 83 = 438240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/438240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/55,12/12,54/96,43/249 is 1/438240
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 55,12,96,249 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(55,12,96,249) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 36
GCF(55,12,96,249) x common factors =1 x 36 = 36
LCM(55,12,96,249) = ( 55 × 12 × 96 × 249 ) / 36
LCM(55,12,96,249) = 15776640 / 36
LCM(55,12,96,249) = 438240
