List of positive integer factors of 21 that divides 21 without a remainder.
1,3,7,21
Factors of 80
List of positive integer factors of 80 that divides 80 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,8,10,16,20,40,80
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 72,73,21,80 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 72,73,21,80 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 28,83,34,18
2 | 28, 83, 34, 18 |
14, 83, 17, 9 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 14 x 83 x 17 x 9 = 355572
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/355572
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 72/28,73/83,21/34,80/18 is 1/355572
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 28,83,34,18 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(28,83,34,18) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(28,83,34,18) x common factors =1 x 4 = 4
LCM(28,83,34,18) = ( 28 × 83 × 34 × 18 ) / 4
LCM(28,83,34,18) = 1422288 / 4
LCM(28,83,34,18) = 355572
