List of positive integer factors of 234 that divides 234 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,13,18,26,39,78,117,234
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 40,55,61,234 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 40,55,61,234 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 59,23,49,89
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5917877
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5917877
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 40/59,55/23,61/49,234/89 is 1/5917877
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 59,23,49,89 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(59,23,49,89) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(59,23,49,89) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(59,23,49,89) = ( 59 × 23 × 49 × 89 ) / 1
LCM(59,23,49,89) = 5917877 / 1
LCM(59,23,49,89) = 5917877
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
