Lets's calculate LCM of 36,63,74,21
| 2 | 36, 63, 74, 21 |
| 3 | 18, 63, 37, 21 |
| 3 | 6, 7, 37, 21 |
| 7 | 2, 7, 37, 7 |
| 2, 1, 37, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 2 x 1 x 37 x 1 = 9324
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/9324
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 45/36,41/63,51/74,68/21 is 1/9324
Least Common Multiple of 36,63,74,21 with GCF Formula
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 36,63,74,21 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,63,74,21) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 378
GCF(36,63,74,21) x common factors =1 x 378 = 378
LCM(36,63,74,21) = ( 36 × 63 × 74 × 21 ) / 378
LCM(36,63,74,21) = 3524472 / 378
LCM(36,63,74,21) = 9324
