1,2,4,7,8,14,28,56
Factors of 349
List of positive integer factors of 349 that divides 349 without a remainder.
1,349
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 18,56,349 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 18,56,349 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,29,926
2 | 72, 29, 926 |
36, 29, 463 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 36 x 29 x 463 = 966744
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/966744
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 18/72,56/29,349/926 is 1/966744
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 72,29,926 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,29,926) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(72,29,926) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(72,29,926) = ( 72 × 29 × 926 ) / 2
LCM(72,29,926) = 1933488 / 2
LCM(72,29,926) = 966744
