Factors of 817
List of positive integer factors of 817 that divides 817 without a remainder.
1,19,43,817
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7,828,817 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7,828,817 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,42,62
2 | 36, 42, 62 |
3 | 18, 21, 31 |
6, 7, 31 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 6 x 7 x 31 = 7812
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7812
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7/36,828/42,817/62 is 1/7812
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 36,42,62 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,42,62) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(36,42,62) x common factors =2 x 6 = 12
LCM(36,42,62) = ( 36 × 42 × 62 ) / 12
LCM(36,42,62) = 93744 / 12
LCM(36,42,62) = 7812
