1,2,3,6,9,18
Factors of 600
List of positive integer factors of 600 that divides 600 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,15,20,24,25,30,40,50,60,75,100,120,150,200,300,600
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 40,18,600 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 40,18,600 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 43,56,986
2 | 43, 56, 986 |
43, 28, 493 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 43 x 28 x 493 = 1187144
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1187144
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 40/43,18/56,600/986 is 2/1187144
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 43,56,986 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(43,56,986) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(43,56,986) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(43,56,986) = ( 43 × 56 × 986 ) / 2
LCM(43,56,986) = 2374288 / 2
LCM(43,56,986) = 1187144
