1,2,4,5,8,10,20,40
Factors of 309
List of positive integer factors of 309 that divides 309 without a remainder.
1,3,103,309
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 62,40,309 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 62,40,309 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,861,984
2 | 36, 861, 984 |
2 | 18, 861, 492 |
3 | 9, 861, 246 |
41 | 3, 287, 82 |
3, 7, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 41 x 3 x 7 x 2 = 20664
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/20664
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 62/36,40/861,309/984 is 1/20664
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 36,861,984 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,861,984) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 492
GCF(36,861,984) x common factors =3 x 492 = 1476
LCM(36,861,984) = ( 36 × 861 × 984 ) / 1476
LCM(36,861,984) = 30500064 / 1476
LCM(36,861,984) = 20664
