1,79
Factors of 17
List of positive integer factors of 17 that divides 17 without a remainder.
1,17
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 54,29,79,17 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 54,29,79,17 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,91,39,845
3 | 12, 91, 39, 845 |
13 | 4, 91, 13, 845 |
4, 7, 1, 65 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 13 x 4 x 7 x 1 x 65 = 70980
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/70980
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 54/12,29/91,79/39,17/845 is 1/70980
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 12,91,39,845 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,91,39,845) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 507
GCF(12,91,39,845) x common factors =1 x 507 = 507
LCM(12,91,39,845) = ( 12 × 91 × 39 × 845 ) / 507
LCM(12,91,39,845) = 35986860 / 507
LCM(12,91,39,845) = 70980
