1,2,3,5,6,9,10,15,18,30,45,90
Factors of 170
List of positive integer factors of 170 that divides 170 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,17,34,85,170
Factors of 237
List of positive integer factors of 237 that divides 237 without a remainder.
1,3,79,237
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 90,170,237 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 90,170,237 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 58,59,142
2 | 58, 59, 142 |
29, 59, 71 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 29 x 59 x 71 = 242962
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/242962
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 90/58,170/59,237/142 is 1/242962
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 58,59,142 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(58,59,142) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(58,59,142) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(58,59,142) = ( 58 × 59 × 142 ) / 2
LCM(58,59,142) = 485924 / 2
LCM(58,59,142) = 242962
