Factors of 137
List of positive integer factors of 137 that divides 137 without a remainder.
1,137
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 701,361,137 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 701,361,137 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,87,27
3 | 12, 87, 27 |
4, 29, 9 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 4 x 29 x 9 = 3132
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3132
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 701/12,361/87,137/27 is 1/3132
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 12,87,27 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,87,27) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(12,87,27) x common factors =3 x 3 = 9
LCM(12,87,27) = ( 12 × 87 × 27 ) / 9
LCM(12,87,27) = 28188 / 9
LCM(12,87,27) = 3132
