1,3,9,27,81,243
Factors of 267
List of positive integer factors of 267 that divides 267 without a remainder.
1,3,89,267
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 173,243,267 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 173,243,267 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,65,589
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1607970
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1607970
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 173/42,243/65,267/589 is 1/1607970
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 42,65,589 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,65,589) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,65,589) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(42,65,589) = ( 42 × 65 × 589 ) / 1
LCM(42,65,589) = 1607970 / 1
LCM(42,65,589) = 1607970
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
