1,5,131,655
Factors of 517
List of positive integer factors of 517 that divides 517 without a remainder.
1,11,47,517
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 88,655,517 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 88,655,517 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,33,95
3 | 72, 33, 95 |
24, 11, 95 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 24 x 11 x 95 = 75240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/75240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 88/72,655/33,517/95 is 1/75240
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 72,33,95 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,33,95) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(72,33,95) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(72,33,95) = ( 72 × 33 × 95 ) / 3
LCM(72,33,95) = 225720 / 3
LCM(72,33,95) = 75240
