Now, list down the factors of 68
:1,2,4,17,34,68
Now, list down the factors of 42
:1,2,3,6,7,14,21,42
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 66,68,42 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 66,68,42 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 50,12,952
2 | 50, 12, 952 |
2 | 25, 6, 476 |
25, 3, 238 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 25 x 3 x 238 = 71400
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/71400
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 66/50,68/12,42/952 is 2/71400
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 50,12,952 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(50,12,952) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(50,12,952) x common factors =2 x 4 = 8
LCM(50,12,952) = ( 50 × 12 × 952 ) / 8
LCM(50,12,952) = 571200 / 8
LCM(50,12,952) = 71400
