So the greatest common factor 88,85,23,84 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 63,59,12,42
| 2 | 63, 59, 12, 42 |
| 3 | 63, 59, 6, 21 |
| 7 | 7, 59, 2, 21 |
| 1, 59, 2, 3 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 7 x 1 x 59 x 2 x 3 = 14868
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/14868
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 88/63,85/59,23/12,84/42 is 1/14868
Least Common Multiple of 63,59,12,42 with GCF Formula
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 63,59,12,42 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(63,59,12,42) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 126
GCF(63,59,12,42) x common factors =1 x 126 = 126
LCM(63,59,12,42) = ( 63 × 59 × 12 × 42 ) / 126
LCM(63,59,12,42) = 1873368 / 126
LCM(63,59,12,42) = 14868
