Factors of 87
List of positive integer factors of 87 that divides 87 without a remainder.
1,3,29,87
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 50,90,56,87 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 50,90,56,87 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,80,24,29
2 | 37, 80, 24, 29 |
2 | 37, 40, 12, 29 |
2 | 37, 20, 6, 29 |
37, 10, 3, 29 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 37 x 10 x 3 x 29 = 257520
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/257520
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 50/37,90/80,56/24,87/29 is 1/257520
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 37,80,24,29 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,80,24,29) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 8
GCF(37,80,24,29) x common factors =1 x 8 = 8
LCM(37,80,24,29) = ( 37 × 80 × 24 × 29 ) / 8
LCM(37,80,24,29) = 2060160 / 8
LCM(37,80,24,29) = 257520
