1,2,4,7,14,28
Factors of 121
List of positive integer factors of 121 that divides 121 without a remainder.
1,11,121
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 42,28,121 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 42,28,121 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 75,23,205
5 | 75, 23, 205 |
15, 23, 41 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 15 x 23 x 41 = 70725
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/70725
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 42/75,28/23,121/205 is 1/70725
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 75,23,205 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(75,23,205) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 5
GCF(75,23,205) x common factors =1 x 5 = 5
LCM(75,23,205) = ( 75 × 23 × 205 ) / 5
LCM(75,23,205) = 353625 / 5
LCM(75,23,205) = 70725
