1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18,36
Factors of 163
List of positive integer factors of 163 that divides 163 without a remainder.
1,163
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 28,36,163 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 28,36,163 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 33,478,136
2 | 33, 478, 136 |
33, 239, 68 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 33 x 239 x 68 = 1072632
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1072632
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 28/33,36/478,163/136 is 1/1072632
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 33,478,136 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(33,478,136) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(33,478,136) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(33,478,136) = ( 33 × 478 × 136 ) / 2
LCM(33,478,136) = 2145264 / 2
LCM(33,478,136) = 1072632
