List of positive integer factors of 801 that divides 801 without a remainder.
1,3,9,89,267,801
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 42,404,801 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 42,404,801 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 24,88,603
2 | 24, 88, 603 |
2 | 12, 44, 603 |
2 | 6, 22, 603 |
3 | 3, 11, 603 |
1, 11, 201 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 1 x 11 x 201 = 53064
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/53064
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 42/24,404/88,801/603 is 1/53064
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 24,88,603 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(24,88,603) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 24
GCF(24,88,603) x common factors =1 x 24 = 24
LCM(24,88,603) = ( 24 × 88 × 603 ) / 24
LCM(24,88,603) = 1273536 / 24
LCM(24,88,603) = 53064
