Factors of 201
List of positive integer factors of 201 that divides 201 without a remainder.
1,3,67,201
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 540,635,201 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 540,635,201 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 18,74,355
2 | 18, 74, 355 |
9, 37, 355 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 9 x 37 x 355 = 236430
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/236430
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 540/18,635/74,201/355 is 1/236430
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 18,74,355 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(18,74,355) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(18,74,355) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(18,74,355) = ( 18 × 74 × 355 ) / 2
LCM(18,74,355) = 472860 / 2
LCM(18,74,355) = 236430
