List of positive integer factors of 309 that divides 309 without a remainder.
1,3,103,309
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 164,768,309 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 164,768,309 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 52,10,40
2 | 52, 10, 40 |
2 | 26, 5, 20 |
5 | 13, 5, 10 |
13, 1, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 13 x 1 x 2 = 520
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/520
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 164/52,768/10,309/40 is 1/520
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 52,10,40 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(52,10,40) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 20
GCF(52,10,40) x common factors =2 x 20 = 40
LCM(52,10,40) = ( 52 × 10 × 40 ) / 40
LCM(52,10,40) = 20800 / 40
LCM(52,10,40) = 520
