1,3,9,29,87,261
Factors of 658
List of positive integer factors of 658 that divides 658 without a remainder.
1,2,7,14,47,94,329,658
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 26,261,658 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 26,261,658 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,50,500
2 | 36, 50, 500 |
2 | 18, 25, 250 |
5 | 9, 25, 125 |
5 | 9, 5, 25 |
9, 1, 5 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 9 x 1 x 5 = 4500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 26/36,261/50,658/500 is 1/4500
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 36,50,500 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,50,500) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 100
GCF(36,50,500) x common factors =2 x 100 = 200
LCM(36,50,500) = ( 36 × 50 × 500 ) / 200
LCM(36,50,500) = 900000 / 200
LCM(36,50,500) = 4500
