1,2,3,5,6,10,15,30
Factors of 585
List of positive integer factors of 585 that divides 585 without a remainder.
1,3,5,9,13,15,39,45,65,117,195,585
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 25,30,585 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 25,30,585 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,46,460
2 | 16, 46, 460 |
2 | 8, 23, 230 |
23 | 4, 23, 115 |
4, 1, 5 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 23 x 4 x 1 x 5 = 1840
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/1840
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 25/16,30/46,585/460 is 5/1840
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 16,46,460 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,46,460) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 92
GCF(16,46,460) x common factors =2 x 92 = 184
LCM(16,46,460) = ( 16 × 46 × 460 ) / 184
LCM(16,46,460) = 338560 / 184
LCM(16,46,460) = 1840
