List of positive integer factors of 986 that divides 986 without a remainder.
1,2,17,29,34,58,493,986
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 287,612,986 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 287,612,986 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 58,77,154
2 | 58, 77, 154 |
7 | 29, 77, 77 |
11 | 29, 11, 11 |
29, 1, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 11 x 29 x 1 x 1 = 4466
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4466
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 287/58,612/77,986/154 is 1/4466
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 58,77,154 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(58,77,154) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 154
GCF(58,77,154) x common factors =1 x 154 = 154
LCM(58,77,154) = ( 58 × 77 × 154 ) / 154
LCM(58,77,154) = 687764 / 154
LCM(58,77,154) = 4466
