Factors of 237
List of positive integer factors of 237 that divides 237 without a remainder.
1,3,79,237
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 21,878,237 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 21,878,237 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 687,488,996
2 | 687, 488, 996 |
2 | 687, 244, 498 |
3 | 687, 122, 249 |
229, 122, 83 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 229 x 122 x 83 = 27826248
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/27826248
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 21/687,878/488,237/996 is 1/27826248
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 687,488,996 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(687,488,996) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 12
GCF(687,488,996) x common factors =1 x 12 = 12
LCM(687,488,996) = ( 687 × 488 × 996 ) / 12
LCM(687,488,996) = 333914976 / 12
LCM(687,488,996) = 27826248
