1,47
Factors of 519
List of positive integer factors of 519 that divides 519 without a remainder.
1,3,173,519
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 72,47,519 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 72,47,519 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 38,540,150
2 | 38, 540, 150 |
3 | 19, 270, 75 |
5 | 19, 90, 25 |
19, 18, 5 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 5 x 19 x 18 x 5 = 51300
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/51300
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 72/38,47/540,519/150 is 1/51300
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 38,540,150 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(38,540,150) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 30
GCF(38,540,150) x common factors =2 x 30 = 60
LCM(38,540,150) = ( 38 × 540 × 150 ) / 60
LCM(38,540,150) = 3078000 / 60
LCM(38,540,150) = 51300
