1,2,4,5,10,20
Factors of 261
List of positive integer factors of 261 that divides 261 without a remainder.
1,3,9,29,87,261
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 56,73,20,261 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 56,73,20,261 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 55,47,31,22
11 | 55, 47, 31, 22 |
5, 47, 31, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 5 x 47 x 31 x 2 = 160270
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/160270
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 56/55,73/47,20/31,261/22 is 1/160270
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 55,47,31,22 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(55,47,31,22) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 11
GCF(55,47,31,22) x common factors =1 x 11 = 11
LCM(55,47,31,22) = ( 55 × 47 × 31 × 22 ) / 11
LCM(55,47,31,22) = 1762970 / 11
LCM(55,47,31,22) = 160270
