List of positive integer factors of 508 that divides 508 without a remainder.
1,2,4,127,254,508
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 38,15,508 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 38,15,508 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 564,477,360
2 | 564, 477, 360 |
2 | 282, 477, 180 |
3 | 141, 477, 90 |
3 | 47, 159, 30 |
47, 53, 10 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 47 x 53 x 10 = 896760
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/896760
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 38/564,15/477,508/360 is 1/896760
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 564,477,360 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(564,477,360) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 36
GCF(564,477,360) x common factors =3 x 36 = 108
LCM(564,477,360) = ( 564 × 477 × 360 ) / 108
LCM(564,477,360) = 96850080 / 108
LCM(564,477,360) = 896760
