So the greatest common factor 96,46,80,74 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,92,79,506
2 | 20, 92, 79, 506 |
2 | 10, 46, 79, 253 |
23 | 5, 23, 79, 253 |
5, 1, 79, 11 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 23 x 5 x 1 x 79 x 11 = 399740
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/399740
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 96/20,46/92,80/79,74/506 is 2/399740
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 20,92,79,506 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,92,79,506) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 184
GCF(20,92,79,506) x common factors =1 x 184 = 184
LCM(20,92,79,506) = ( 20 × 92 × 79 × 506 ) / 184
LCM(20,92,79,506) = 73552160 / 184
LCM(20,92,79,506) = 399740
