Factors of 146
List of positive integer factors of 146 that divides 146 without a remainder.
1,2,73,146
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 64,734,146 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 64,734,146 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 79,37,196
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 572908
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/572908
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 64/79,734/37,146/196 is 2/572908
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 79,37,196 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(79,37,196) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(79,37,196) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(79,37,196) = ( 79 × 37 × 196 ) / 1
LCM(79,37,196) = 572908 / 1
LCM(79,37,196) = 572908
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
