List of positive integer factors of 44 that divides 44 without a remainder.
1,2,4,11,22,44
Factors of 263
List of positive integer factors of 263 that divides 263 without a remainder.
1,263
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 40,61,44,263 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 40,61,44,263 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 26,57,51,55
3 | 26, 57, 51, 55 |
26, 19, 17, 55 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 26 x 19 x 17 x 55 = 1385670
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1385670
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 40/26,61/57,44/51,263/55 is 1/1385670
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 26,57,51,55 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(26,57,51,55) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(26,57,51,55) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(26,57,51,55) = ( 26 × 57 × 51 × 55 ) / 3
LCM(26,57,51,55) = 4157010 / 3
LCM(26,57,51,55) = 1385670
