List of positive integer factors of 711 that divides 711 without a remainder.
1,3,9,79,237,711
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 79,12,711 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 79,12,711 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 23,656,168
2 | 23, 656, 168 |
2 | 23, 328, 84 |
2 | 23, 164, 42 |
23, 82, 21 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 23 x 82 x 21 = 316848
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/316848
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 79/23,12/656,711/168 is 1/316848
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 23,656,168 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(23,656,168) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 8
GCF(23,656,168) x common factors =1 x 8 = 8
LCM(23,656,168) = ( 23 × 656 × 168 ) / 8
LCM(23,656,168) = 2534784 / 8
LCM(23,656,168) = 316848
