Factors of 8565
List of positive integer factors of 8565 that divides 8565 without a remainder.
1,3,5,15,571,1713,2855,8565
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1551,8565 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1551,8565 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 51,211
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 10761
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/10761
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1551/51,8565/211 is 3/10761
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 51,211 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(51,211) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(51,211) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(51,211) = ( 51 × 211 ) / 1
LCM(51,211) = 10761 / 1
LCM(51,211) = 10761
