Factors of 28
List of positive integer factors of 28 that divides 28 without a remainder.
1,2,4,7,14,28
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 18,63,50,28 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 18,63,50,28 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 52,73,86,120
2 | 52, 73, 86, 120 |
2 | 26, 73, 43, 60 |
13, 73, 43, 30 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 13 x 73 x 43 x 30 = 4896840
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4896840
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 18/52,63/73,50/86,28/120 is 1/4896840
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 52,73,86,120 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(52,73,86,120) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 8
GCF(52,73,86,120) x common factors =1 x 8 = 8
LCM(52,73,86,120) = ( 52 × 73 × 86 × 120 ) / 8
LCM(52,73,86,120) = 39174720 / 8
LCM(52,73,86,120) = 4896840
