Factors of 262
List of positive integer factors of 262 that divides 262 without a remainder.
1,2,131,262
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 90,26,262 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 90,26,262 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 79,78,421
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2594202
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2594202
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 90/79,26/78,262/421 is 2/2594202
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 79,78,421 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(79,78,421) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(79,78,421) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(79,78,421) = ( 79 × 78 × 421 ) / 1
LCM(79,78,421) = 2594202 / 1
LCM(79,78,421) = 2594202
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
