1,401
Factors of 205
List of positive integer factors of 205 that divides 205 without a remainder.
1,5,41,205
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 70,401,205 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 70,401,205 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,42,662
2 | 72, 42, 662 |
3 | 36, 21, 331 |
12, 7, 331 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 12 x 7 x 331 = 166824
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/166824
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 70/72,401/42,205/662 is 1/166824
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 72,42,662 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,42,662) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(72,42,662) x common factors =2 x 6 = 12
LCM(72,42,662) = ( 72 × 42 × 662 ) / 12
LCM(72,42,662) = 2001888 / 12
LCM(72,42,662) = 166824
