List of positive integer factors of 718 that divides 718 without a remainder.
1,2,359,718
Factors of 159
List of positive integer factors of 159 that divides 159 without a remainder.
1,3,53,159
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 40,718,159 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 40,718,159 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 23,28,629
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 405076
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/405076
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 40/23,718/28,159/629 is 1/405076
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 23,28,629 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(23,28,629) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(23,28,629) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(23,28,629) = ( 23 × 28 × 629 ) / 1
LCM(23,28,629) = 405076 / 1
LCM(23,28,629) = 405076
