So the greatest common factor 8,32,84,970 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,73,964,513
2 | 40, 73, 964, 513 |
2 | 20, 73, 482, 513 |
10, 73, 241, 513 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 10 x 73 x 241 x 513 = 361008360
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/361008360
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8/40,32/73,84/964,970/513 is 2/361008360
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 40,73,964,513 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,73,964,513) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(40,73,964,513) x common factors =1 x 4 = 4
LCM(40,73,964,513) = ( 40 × 73 × 964 × 513 ) / 4
LCM(40,73,964,513) = 1444033440 / 4
LCM(40,73,964,513) = 361008360
