List of positive integer factors of 411 that divides 411 without a remainder.
1,3,137,411
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 36,40,411 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 36,40,411 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 71,228,251
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4063188
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4063188
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/71,40/228,411/251 is 1/4063188
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 71,228,251 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(71,228,251) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(71,228,251) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(71,228,251) = ( 71 × 228 × 251 ) / 1
LCM(71,228,251) = 4063188 / 1
LCM(71,228,251) = 4063188
