Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 95,22,36,20 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 95,22,36,20 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,84,37,31
2 | 72, 84, 37, 31 |
2 | 36, 42, 37, 31 |
3 | 18, 21, 37, 31 |
6, 7, 37, 31 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 6 x 7 x 37 x 31 = 578088
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/578088
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 95/72,22/84,36/37,20/31 is 1/578088
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 72,84,37,31 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,84,37,31) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 12
GCF(72,84,37,31) x common factors =1 x 12 = 12
LCM(72,84,37,31) = ( 72 × 84 × 37 × 31 ) / 12
LCM(72,84,37,31) = 6937056 / 12
LCM(72,84,37,31) = 578088
