1,2,23,46
Factors of 428
List of positive integer factors of 428 that divides 428 without a remainder.
1,2,4,107,214,428
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 18,46,428 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 18,46,428 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 90,720,535
2 | 90, 720, 535 |
3 | 45, 360, 535 |
3 | 15, 120, 535 |
5 | 5, 40, 535 |
1, 8, 107 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 1 x 8 x 107 = 77040
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/77040
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 18/90,46/720,428/535 is 2/77040
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 90,720,535 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(90,720,535) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 90
GCF(90,720,535) x common factors =5 x 90 = 450
LCM(90,720,535) = ( 90 × 720 × 535 ) / 450
LCM(90,720,535) = 34668000 / 450
LCM(90,720,535) = 77040
