1,2,4,11,22,44
Factors of 65
List of positive integer factors of 65 that divides 65 without a remainder.
1,5,13,65
Factors of 669
List of positive integer factors of 669 that divides 669 without a remainder.
1,3,223,669
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 44,65,669 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 44,65,669 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,36,784
2 | 42, 36, 784 |
2 | 21, 18, 392 |
3 | 21, 9, 196 |
7 | 7, 3, 196 |
1, 3, 28 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 1 x 3 x 28 = 7056
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7056
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 44/42,65/36,669/784 is 1/7056
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 42,36,784 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,36,784) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 84
GCF(42,36,784) x common factors =2 x 84 = 168
LCM(42,36,784) = ( 42 × 36 × 784 ) / 168
LCM(42,36,784) = 1185408 / 168
LCM(42,36,784) = 7056
