List of positive integer factors of 162 that divides 162 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,18,27,54,81,162
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 69,58,162 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 69,58,162 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,487,942
2 | 72, 487, 942 |
3 | 36, 487, 471 |
12, 487, 157 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 12 x 487 x 157 = 5505048
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5505048
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 69/72,58/487,162/942 is 1/5505048
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 72,487,942 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,487,942) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(72,487,942) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(72,487,942) = ( 72 × 487 × 942 ) / 6
LCM(72,487,942) = 33030288 / 6
LCM(72,487,942) = 5505048
