Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 90,38,73,59 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 90,38,73,59 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,12,24,70
2 | 20, 12, 24, 70 |
2 | 10, 6, 12, 35 |
3 | 5, 3, 6, 35 |
5 | 5, 1, 2, 35 |
1, 1, 2, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 1 x 1 x 2 x 7 = 840
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/840
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 90/20,38/12,73/24,59/70 is 1/840
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 20,12,24,70 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,12,24,70) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 240
GCF(20,12,24,70) x common factors =2 x 240 = 480
LCM(20,12,24,70) = ( 20 × 12 × 24 × 70 ) / 480
LCM(20,12,24,70) = 403200 / 480
LCM(20,12,24,70) = 840
