Factors of 5477
List of positive integer factors of 5477 that divides 5477 without a remainder.
1,5477
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1581,5477 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1581,5477 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 949,2971
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2819479
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2819479
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1581/949,5477/2971 is 1/2819479
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 949,2971 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(949,2971) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(949,2971) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(949,2971) = ( 949 × 2971 ) / 1
LCM(949,2971) = 2819479 / 1
LCM(949,2971) = 2819479
