So the greatest common factor 6,64,36,382 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 34,20,972,843
2 | 34, 20, 972, 843 |
2 | 17, 10, 486, 843 |
3 | 17, 5, 243, 843 |
17, 5, 81, 281 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 17 x 5 x 81 x 281 = 23216220
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/23216220
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6/34,64/20,36/972,382/843 is 2/23216220
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 34,20,972,843 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(34,20,972,843) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 24
GCF(34,20,972,843) x common factors =1 x 24 = 24
LCM(34,20,972,843) = ( 34 × 20 × 972 × 843 ) / 24
LCM(34,20,972,843) = 557189280 / 24
LCM(34,20,972,843) = 23216220
