Factors of 1382
List of positive integer factors of 1382 that divides 1382 without a remainder.
1,2,691,1382
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 124,1382 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 124,1382 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 888,318
2 | 888, 318 |
3 | 444, 159 |
148, 53 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 148 x 53 = 47064
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/47064
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 124/888,1382/318 is 2/47064
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 888,318 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(888,318) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(888,318) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(888,318) = ( 888 × 318 ) / 6
LCM(888,318) = 282384 / 6
LCM(888,318) = 47064
