Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9,5,6,87 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9,5,6,87 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 78,72,90,428
2 | 78, 72, 90, 428 |
2 | 39, 36, 45, 214 |
3 | 39, 18, 45, 107 |
3 | 13, 6, 15, 107 |
13, 2, 5, 107 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 13 x 2 x 5 x 107 = 500760
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/500760
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9/78,5/72,6/90,87/428 is 1/500760
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 78,72,90,428 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,72,90,428) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 216
GCF(78,72,90,428) x common factors =2 x 216 = 432
LCM(78,72,90,428) = ( 78 × 72 × 90 × 428 ) / 432
LCM(78,72,90,428) = 216328320 / 432
LCM(78,72,90,428) = 500760
