1,2,733,1466
Factors of 8522
List of positive integer factors of 8522 that divides 8522 without a remainder.
1,2,4261,8522
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1466,8522 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1466,8522 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 585,341
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 199485
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/199485
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1466/585,8522/341 is 2/199485
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 585,341 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(585,341) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(585,341) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(585,341) = ( 585 × 341 ) / 1
LCM(585,341) = 199485 / 1
LCM(585,341) = 199485
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
