1,971
Factors of 739
List of positive integer factors of 739 that divides 739 without a remainder.
1,739
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 438,971,739 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 438,971,739 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,65,242
2 | 12, 65, 242 |
6, 65, 121 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 6 x 65 x 121 = 94380
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/94380
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 438/12,971/65,739/242 is 1/94380
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 12,65,242 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,65,242) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(12,65,242) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(12,65,242) = ( 12 × 65 × 242 ) / 2
LCM(12,65,242) = 188760 / 2
LCM(12,65,242) = 94380
