1,2,4,7,14,28
Factors of 194
List of positive integer factors of 194 that divides 194 without a remainder.
1,2,97,194
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 86,28,194 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 86,28,194 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 21,15,871
3 | 21, 15, 871 |
7, 5, 871 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 7 x 5 x 871 = 91455
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/91455
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 86/21,28/15,194/871 is 2/91455
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 21,15,871 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(21,15,871) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(21,15,871) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(21,15,871) = ( 21 × 15 × 871 ) / 3
LCM(21,15,871) = 274365 / 3
LCM(21,15,871) = 91455
