1,2,5,10
Factors of 266
List of positive integer factors of 266 that divides 266 without a remainder.
1,2,7,14,19,38,133,266
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 32,10,266 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 32,10,266 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 320,987,198
2 | 320, 987, 198 |
3 | 160, 987, 99 |
160, 329, 33 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 160 x 329 x 33 = 10422720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/10422720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 32/320,10/987,266/198 is 2/10422720
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 320,987,198 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(320,987,198) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(320,987,198) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(320,987,198) = ( 320 × 987 × 198 ) / 6
LCM(320,987,198) = 62536320 / 6
LCM(320,987,198) = 10422720
