Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 68,28,85,57 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 68,28,85,57 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,42,56,98
2 | 40, 42, 56, 98 |
2 | 20, 21, 28, 49 |
2 | 10, 21, 14, 49 |
7 | 5, 21, 7, 49 |
5, 3, 1, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 5 x 3 x 1 x 7 = 5880
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5880
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 68/40,28/42,85/56,57/98 is 1/5880
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 40,42,56,98 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,42,56,98) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 784
GCF(40,42,56,98) x common factors =2 x 784 = 1568
LCM(40,42,56,98) = ( 40 × 42 × 56 × 98 ) / 1568
LCM(40,42,56,98) = 9219840 / 1568
LCM(40,42,56,98) = 5880
