1,2,13,26,169,338
Factors of 442
List of positive integer factors of 442 that divides 442 without a remainder.
1,2,13,17,26,34,221,442
Factors of 191
List of positive integer factors of 191 that divides 191 without a remainder.
1,191
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 338,442,191 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 338,442,191 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 52,84,84
2 | 52, 84, 84 |
2 | 26, 42, 42 |
3 | 13, 21, 21 |
7 | 13, 7, 7 |
13, 1, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 13 x 1 x 1 = 1092
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1092
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 338/52,442/84,191/84 is 1/1092
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 52,84,84 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(52,84,84) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 84
GCF(52,84,84) x common factors =4 x 84 = 336
LCM(52,84,84) = ( 52 × 84 × 84 ) / 336
LCM(52,84,84) = 366912 / 336
LCM(52,84,84) = 1092
