Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 44,20,27,27 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 44,20,27,27 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 18,33,66,63
2 | 18, 33, 66, 63 |
3 | 9, 33, 33, 63 |
3 | 3, 11, 11, 21 |
11 | 1, 11, 11, 7 |
1, 1, 1, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 11 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 7 = 1386
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1386
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 44/18,20/33,27/66,27/63 is 1/1386
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 18,33,66,63 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(18,33,66,63) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 594
GCF(18,33,66,63) x common factors =3 x 594 = 1782
LCM(18,33,66,63) = ( 18 × 33 × 66 × 63 ) / 1782
LCM(18,33,66,63) = 2469852 / 1782
LCM(18,33,66,63) = 1386
