List of positive integer factors of 16 that divides 16 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,16
Factors of 93
List of positive integer factors of 93 that divides 93 without a remainder.
1,3,31,93
Factors of 229
List of positive integer factors of 229 that divides 229 without a remainder.
1,229
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 16,93,229 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 16,93,229 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 235,171,294
3 | 235, 171, 294 |
235, 57, 98 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 235 x 57 x 98 = 3938130
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3938130
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 16/235,93/171,229/294 is 1/3938130
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 235,171,294 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(235,171,294) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(235,171,294) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(235,171,294) = ( 235 × 171 × 294 ) / 3
LCM(235,171,294) = 11814390 / 3
LCM(235,171,294) = 3938130
