List of positive integer factors of 792 that divides 792 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,8,9,11,12,18,22,24,33,36,44,66,72,88,99,132,198,264,396,792
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 35,21,49,792 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 35,21,49,792 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,17,59,53
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2232678
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2232678
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 35/42,21/17,49/59,792/53 is 1/2232678
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 42,17,59,53 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,17,59,53) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,17,59,53) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(42,17,59,53) = ( 42 × 17 × 59 × 53 ) / 1
LCM(42,17,59,53) = 2232678 / 1
LCM(42,17,59,53) = 2232678
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
