1,281
Factors of 438
List of positive integer factors of 438 that divides 438 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,73,146,219,438
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 85,281,438 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 85,281,438 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 459,843,843
3 | 459, 843, 843 |
281 | 153, 281, 281 |
153, 1, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 281 x 153 x 1 x 1 = 128979
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/128979
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 85/459,281/843,438/843 is 1/128979
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 459,843,843 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(459,843,843) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 843
GCF(459,843,843) x common factors =3 x 843 = 2529
LCM(459,843,843) = ( 459 × 843 × 843 ) / 2529
LCM(459,843,843) = 326187891 / 2529
LCM(459,843,843) = 128979
