List of positive integer factors of 162 that divides 162 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,18,27,54,81,162
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 34,94,162 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 34,94,162 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,30,236
2 | 37, 30, 236 |
37, 15, 118 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 37 x 15 x 118 = 130980
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/130980
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 34/37,94/30,162/236 is 2/130980
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 37,30,236 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,30,236) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(37,30,236) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(37,30,236) = ( 37 × 30 × 236 ) / 2
LCM(37,30,236) = 261960 / 2
LCM(37,30,236) = 130980
