Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7,6,2,78 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7,6,2,78 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,70,70,873
2 | 12, 70, 70, 873 |
3 | 6, 35, 35, 873 |
5 | 2, 35, 35, 291 |
7 | 2, 7, 7, 291 |
2, 1, 1, 291 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 2 x 1 x 1 x 291 = 122220
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/122220
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7/12,6/70,2/70,78/873 is 1/122220
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 12,70,70,873 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,70,70,873) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 420
GCF(12,70,70,873) x common factors =1 x 420 = 420
LCM(12,70,70,873) = ( 12 × 70 × 70 × 873 ) / 420
LCM(12,70,70,873) = 51332400 / 420
LCM(12,70,70,873) = 122220
