Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8,53,12,172 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8,53,12,172 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 23,69,212,660
2 | 23, 69, 212, 660 |
2 | 23, 69, 106, 330 |
3 | 23, 69, 53, 165 |
23 | 23, 23, 53, 55 |
1, 1, 53, 55 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 23 x 1 x 1 x 53 x 55 = 804540
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/804540
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8/23,53/69,12/212,172/660 is 1/804540
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 23,69,212,660 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(23,69,212,660) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 276
GCF(23,69,212,660) x common factors =1 x 276 = 276
LCM(23,69,212,660) = ( 23 × 69 × 212 × 660 ) / 276
LCM(23,69,212,660) = 222053040 / 276
LCM(23,69,212,660) = 804540
