So the greatest common factor 62,78,46,18 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 85,36,96,64
2 | 85, 36, 96, 64 |
2 | 85, 18, 48, 32 |
2 | 85, 9, 24, 16 |
2 | 85, 9, 12, 8 |
2 | 85, 9, 6, 4 |
3 | 85, 9, 3, 2 |
85, 1, 3, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 85 x 1 x 3 x 2 = 48960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/48960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 62/85,78/36,46/96,18/64 is 2/48960
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 85,36,96,64 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(85,36,96,64) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 384
GCF(85,36,96,64) x common factors =1 x 384 = 384
LCM(85,36,96,64) = ( 85 × 36 × 96 × 64 ) / 384
LCM(85,36,96,64) = 18800640 / 384
LCM(85,36,96,64) = 48960
