1,3,7,21
Factors of 518
List of positive integer factors of 518 that divides 518 without a remainder.
1,2,7,14,37,74,259,518
Factors of 682
List of positive integer factors of 682 that divides 682 without a remainder.
1,2,11,22,31,62,341,682
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 21,518,682 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 21,518,682 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 65,12,666
2 | 65, 12, 666 |
3 | 65, 6, 333 |
65, 2, 111 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 65 x 2 x 111 = 86580
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/86580
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 21/65,518/12,682/666 is 1/86580
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 65,12,666 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(65,12,666) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(65,12,666) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(65,12,666) = ( 65 × 12 × 666 ) / 6
LCM(65,12,666) = 519480 / 6
LCM(65,12,666) = 86580
