1,3,5,15,25,75
Factors of 800
List of positive integer factors of 800 that divides 800 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,8,10,16,20,25,32,40,50,80,100,160,200,400,800
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 42,75,800 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 42,75,800 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 90,55,770
2 | 90, 55, 770 |
5 | 45, 55, 385 |
11 | 9, 11, 77 |
9, 1, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 11 x 9 x 1 x 7 = 6930
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6930
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 42/90,75/55,800/770 is 1/6930
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 90,55,770 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(90,55,770) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 110
GCF(90,55,770) x common factors =5 x 110 = 550
LCM(90,55,770) = ( 90 × 55 × 770 ) / 550
LCM(90,55,770) = 3811500 / 550
LCM(90,55,770) = 6930
