1,2,97,194
Factors of 252
List of positive integer factors of 252 that divides 252 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,7,9,12,14,18,21,28,36,42,63,84,126,252
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8,194,252 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8,194,252 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 60,45,36
2 | 60, 45, 36 |
2 | 30, 45, 18 |
3 | 15, 45, 9 |
3 | 5, 15, 3 |
5 | 5, 5, 1 |
1, 1, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 180
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/180
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8/60,194/45,252/36 is 2/180
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 60,45,36 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(60,45,36) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 180
GCF(60,45,36) x common factors =3 x 180 = 540
LCM(60,45,36) = ( 60 × 45 × 36 ) / 540
LCM(60,45,36) = 97200 / 540
LCM(60,45,36) = 180
