List of positive integer factors of 35 that divides 35 without a remainder.
1,5,7,35
Factors of 178
List of positive integer factors of 178 that divides 178 without a remainder.
1,2,89,178
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 70,35,178 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 70,35,178 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 970,697,344
2 | 970, 697, 344 |
485, 697, 172 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 485 x 697 x 172 = 116287480
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/116287480
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 70/970,35/697,178/344 is 1/116287480
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 970,697,344 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(970,697,344) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(970,697,344) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(970,697,344) = ( 970 × 697 × 344 ) / 2
LCM(970,697,344) = 232574960 / 2
LCM(970,697,344) = 116287480
