List of positive integer factors of 16 that divides 16 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,16
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 19,74,93,16 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 19,74,93,16 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 23,36,27,546
2 | 23, 36, 27, 546 |
3 | 23, 18, 27, 273 |
3 | 23, 6, 9, 91 |
23, 2, 3, 91 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 23 x 2 x 3 x 91 = 226044
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/226044
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 19/23,74/36,93/27,16/546 is 1/226044
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 23,36,27,546 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(23,36,27,546) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 54
GCF(23,36,27,546) x common factors =1 x 54 = 54
LCM(23,36,27,546) = ( 23 × 36 × 27 × 546 ) / 54
LCM(23,36,27,546) = 12206376 / 54
LCM(23,36,27,546) = 226044
