Factors of 688
List of positive integer factors of 688 that divides 688 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,16,43,86,172,344,688
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8,741,688 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8,741,688 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 23,73,40
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 67160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/67160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8/23,741/73,688/40 is 1/67160
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 23,73,40 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(23,73,40) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(23,73,40) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(23,73,40) = ( 23 × 73 × 40 ) / 1
LCM(23,73,40) = 67160 / 1
LCM(23,73,40) = 67160
