1,2,13,26
Factors of 284
List of positive integer factors of 284 that divides 284 without a remainder.
1,2,4,71,142,284
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 85,43,26,284 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 85,43,26,284 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 43,55,10,86
2 | 43, 55, 10, 86 |
5 | 43, 55, 5, 43 |
43 | 43, 11, 1, 43 |
1, 11, 1, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 43 x 1 x 11 x 1 x 1 = 4730
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4730
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 85/43,43/55,26/10,284/86 is 1/4730
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 43,55,10,86 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(43,55,10,86) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 430
GCF(43,55,10,86) x common factors =1 x 430 = 430
LCM(43,55,10,86) = ( 43 × 55 × 10 × 86 ) / 430
LCM(43,55,10,86) = 2033900 / 430
LCM(43,55,10,86) = 4730
