Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4,2,2,66 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4,2,2,66 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,11,20,917
2 | 42, 11, 20, 917 |
7 | 21, 11, 10, 917 |
3, 11, 10, 131 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 3 x 11 x 10 x 131 = 605220
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/605220
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4/42,2/11,2/20,66/917 is 2/605220
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 42,11,20,917 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,11,20,917) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 14
GCF(42,11,20,917) x common factors =1 x 14 = 14
LCM(42,11,20,917) = ( 42 × 11 × 20 × 917 ) / 14
LCM(42,11,20,917) = 8473080 / 14
LCM(42,11,20,917) = 605220
