1,2,3,6,7,14,21,42
Factors of 923
List of positive integer factors of 923 that divides 923 without a remainder.
1,13,71,923
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 26,42,923 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 26,42,923 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,96,218
2 | 72, 96, 218 |
2 | 36, 48, 109 |
2 | 18, 24, 109 |
3 | 9, 12, 109 |
3, 4, 109 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 4 x 109 = 31392
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/31392
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 26/72,42/96,923/218 is 1/31392
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 72,96,218 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,96,218) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 24
GCF(72,96,218) x common factors =2 x 24 = 48
LCM(72,96,218) = ( 72 × 96 × 218 ) / 48
LCM(72,96,218) = 1506816 / 48
LCM(72,96,218) = 31392
