1,2,4,31,62,124
Factors of 5986
List of positive integer factors of 5986 that divides 5986 without a remainder.
1,2,41,73,82,146,2993,5986
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 124,5986 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 124,5986 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 306,139
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 42534
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/42534
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 124/306,5986/139 is 2/42534
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 306,139 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(306,139) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(306,139) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(306,139) = ( 306 × 139 ) / 1
LCM(306,139) = 42534 / 1
LCM(306,139) = 42534
