1,2,3,4,6,11,12,22,33,44,66,132
Factors of 861
List of positive integer factors of 861 that divides 861 without a remainder.
1,3,7,21,41,123,287,861
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6,132,861 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6,132,861 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 96,32,44
2 | 96, 32, 44 |
2 | 48, 16, 22 |
2 | 24, 8, 11 |
2 | 12, 4, 11 |
2 | 6, 2, 11 |
3, 1, 11 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 1 x 11 = 1056
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1056
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6/96,132/32,861/44 is 3/1056
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 96,32,44 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(96,32,44) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 32
GCF(96,32,44) x common factors =4 x 32 = 128
LCM(96,32,44) = ( 96 × 32 × 44 ) / 128
LCM(96,32,44) = 135168 / 128
LCM(96,32,44) = 1056
