Factors of 577
List of positive integer factors of 577 that divides 577 without a remainder.
1,577
Factors of 291
List of positive integer factors of 291 that divides 291 without a remainder.
1,3,97,291
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 99,577,291 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 99,577,291 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 28,30,960
2 | 28, 30, 960 |
2 | 14, 15, 480 |
3 | 7, 15, 240 |
5 | 7, 5, 80 |
7, 1, 16 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 1 x 16 = 6720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 99/28,577/30,291/960 is 1/6720
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 28,30,960 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(28,30,960) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 60
GCF(28,30,960) x common factors =2 x 60 = 120
LCM(28,30,960) = ( 28 × 30 × 960 ) / 120
LCM(28,30,960) = 806400 / 120
LCM(28,30,960) = 6720
