Factors of 8515
List of positive integer factors of 8515 that divides 8515 without a remainder.
1,5,13,65,131,655,1703,8515
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1131,8515 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1131,8515 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 86,470
2 | 86, 470 |
43, 235 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 43 x 235 = 20210
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/20210
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1131/86,8515/470 is 13/20210
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 86,470 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(86,470) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(86,470) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(86,470) = ( 86 × 470 ) / 2
LCM(86,470) = 40420 / 2
LCM(86,470) = 20210
