1,2,4,7,14,19,28,38,76,133,266,532
Factors of 100
List of positive integer factors of 100 that divides 100 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,10,20,25,50,100
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 46,532,100 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 46,532,100 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 75,27,372
3 | 75, 27, 372 |
25, 9, 124 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 25 x 9 x 124 = 83700
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/83700
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 46/75,532/27,100/372 is 2/83700
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 75,27,372 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(75,27,372) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(75,27,372) x common factors =3 x 3 = 9
LCM(75,27,372) = ( 75 × 27 × 372 ) / 9
LCM(75,27,372) = 753300 / 9
LCM(75,27,372) = 83700
