1,2,4,8,16
Factors of 231
List of positive integer factors of 231 that divides 231 without a remainder.
1,3,7,11,21,33,77,231
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 24,16,231 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 24,16,231 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 252,553,483
3 | 252, 553, 483 |
7 | 84, 553, 161 |
12, 79, 23 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 7 x 12 x 79 x 23 = 457884
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/457884
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 24/252,16/553,231/483 is 1/457884
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 252,553,483 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(252,553,483) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 21
GCF(252,553,483) x common factors =7 x 21 = 147
LCM(252,553,483) = ( 252 × 553 × 483 ) / 147
LCM(252,553,483) = 67308948 / 147
LCM(252,553,483) = 457884
