List of positive integer factors of 378 that divides 378 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,7,9,14,18,21,27,42,54,63,126,189,378
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 315,884,378 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 315,884,378 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 21,42,64
2 | 21, 42, 64 |
3 | 21, 21, 32 |
7 | 7, 7, 32 |
1, 1, 32 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 7 x 1 x 1 x 32 = 1344
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1344
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 315/21,884/42,378/64 is 1/1344
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 21,42,64 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(21,42,64) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 42
GCF(21,42,64) x common factors =1 x 42 = 42
LCM(21,42,64) = ( 21 × 42 × 64 ) / 42
LCM(21,42,64) = 56448 / 42
LCM(21,42,64) = 1344
