Factors of 633
List of positive integer factors of 633 that divides 633 without a remainder.
1,3,211,633
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5,756,633 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5,756,633 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 78,40,21
2 | 78, 40, 21 |
3 | 39, 20, 21 |
13, 20, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 13 x 20 x 7 = 10920
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/10920
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5/78,756/40,633/21 is 1/10920
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 78,40,21 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,40,21) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(78,40,21) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(78,40,21) = ( 78 × 40 × 21 ) / 6
LCM(78,40,21) = 65520 / 6
LCM(78,40,21) = 10920
