Factors of 25
List of positive integer factors of 25 that divides 25 without a remainder.
1,5,25
Factors of 955
List of positive integer factors of 955 that divides 955 without a remainder.
1,5,191,955
Factors of 159
List of positive integer factors of 159 that divides 159 without a remainder.
1,3,53,159
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 25,955,159 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 25,955,159 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 74,63,170
2 | 74, 63, 170 |
37, 63, 85 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 37 x 63 x 85 = 396270
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/396270
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 25/74,955/63,159/170 is 1/396270
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 74,63,170 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(74,63,170) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(74,63,170) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(74,63,170) = ( 74 × 63 × 170 ) / 2
LCM(74,63,170) = 792540 / 2
LCM(74,63,170) = 396270
