List of positive integer factors of 179 that divides 179 without a remainder.
1,179
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8,92,37,179 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8,92,37,179 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 85,50,760,720
2 | 85, 50, 760, 720 |
2 | 85, 25, 380, 360 |
2 | 85, 25, 190, 180 |
5 | 85, 25, 95, 90 |
17, 5, 19, 18 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 17 x 5 x 19 x 18 = 1162800
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1162800
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8/85,92/50,37/760,179/720 is 1/1162800
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 85,50,760,720 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(85,50,760,720) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 400
GCF(85,50,760,720) x common factors =5 x 400 = 2000
LCM(85,50,760,720) = ( 85 × 50 × 760 × 720 ) / 2000
LCM(85,50,760,720) = 2325600000 / 2000
LCM(85,50,760,720) = 1162800
