1,2,29,58
Factors of 89
List of positive integer factors of 89 that divides 89 without a remainder.
1,89
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 15,20,58,89 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 15,20,58,89 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 18,68,55,20
2 | 18, 68, 55, 20 |
2 | 9, 34, 55, 10 |
5 | 9, 17, 55, 5 |
9, 17, 11, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 9 x 17 x 11 x 1 = 33660
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/33660
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 15/18,20/68,58/55,89/20 is 1/33660
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 18,68,55,20 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(18,68,55,20) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 40
GCF(18,68,55,20) x common factors =1 x 40 = 40
LCM(18,68,55,20) = ( 18 × 68 × 55 × 20 ) / 40
LCM(18,68,55,20) = 1346400 / 40
LCM(18,68,55,20) = 33660
