Factors of 172
List of positive integer factors of 172 that divides 172 without a remainder.
1,2,4,43,86,172
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 609,716,172 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 609,716,172 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,95,90
2 | 20, 95, 90 |
5 | 10, 95, 45 |
2, 19, 9 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 2 x 19 x 9 = 3420
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3420
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 609/20,716/95,172/90 is 1/3420
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 20,95,90 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,95,90) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 10
GCF(20,95,90) x common factors =5 x 10 = 50
LCM(20,95,90) = ( 20 × 95 × 90 ) / 50
LCM(20,95,90) = 171000 / 50
LCM(20,95,90) = 3420
