We found the factors 8,12,37,891 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8,12,37,891 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 96,36,933,891
2 | 96, 36, 933, 891 |
2 | 48, 18, 933, 891 |
3 | 24, 9, 933, 891 |
3 | 8, 3, 311, 297 |
8, 1, 311, 99 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 8 x 1 x 311 x 99 = 8867232
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/8867232
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8/96,12/36,37/933,891/891 is 1/8867232
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 96,36,933,891 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(96,36,933,891) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 108
GCF(96,36,933,891) x common factors =3 x 108 = 324
LCM(96,36,933,891) = ( 96 × 36 × 933 × 891 ) / 324
LCM(96,36,933,891) = 2872983168 / 324
LCM(96,36,933,891) = 8867232
