1,3,7,21
Factors of 142
List of positive integer factors of 142 that divides 142 without a remainder.
1,2,71,142
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 54,21,142 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 54,21,142 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 990,498,889
2 | 990, 498, 889 |
3 | 495, 249, 889 |
165, 83, 889 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 165 x 83 x 889 = 73049130
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/73049130
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 54/990,21/498,142/889 is 1/73049130
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 990,498,889 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(990,498,889) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(990,498,889) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(990,498,889) = ( 990 × 498 × 889 ) / 6
LCM(990,498,889) = 438294780 / 6
LCM(990,498,889) = 73049130
