List of positive integer factors of 84 that divides 84 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,7,12,14,21,28,42,84
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 99,86,11,84 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 99,86,11,84 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 11,15,21,187
3 | 11, 15, 21, 187 |
11 | 11, 5, 7, 187 |
1, 5, 7, 17 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 11 x 1 x 5 x 7 x 17 = 19635
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/19635
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 99/11,86/15,11/21,84/187 is 1/19635
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 11,15,21,187 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(11,15,21,187) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 33
GCF(11,15,21,187) x common factors =1 x 33 = 33
LCM(11,15,21,187) = ( 11 × 15 × 21 × 187 ) / 33
LCM(11,15,21,187) = 647955 / 33
LCM(11,15,21,187) = 19635
