1,2,4,7,14,28
Factors of 33
List of positive integer factors of 33 that divides 33 without a remainder.
1,3,11,33
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 28,33,923 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 28,33,923 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,72,669
2 | 42, 72, 669 |
3 | 21, 36, 669 |
7, 12, 223 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 7 x 12 x 223 = 112392
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/112392
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 28/42,33/72,923/669 is 1/112392
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 42,72,669 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,72,669) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(42,72,669) x common factors =3 x 6 = 18
LCM(42,72,669) = ( 42 × 72 × 669 ) / 18
LCM(42,72,669) = 2023056 / 18
LCM(42,72,669) = 112392
