Factors of 4945
List of positive integer factors of 4945 that divides 4945 without a remainder.
1,5,23,43,115,215,989,4945
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 160,4945 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 160,4945 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 372,961
31 | 372, 961 |
12, 31 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 31 x 12 x 31 = 11532
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/11532
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 160/372,4945/961 is 5/11532
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 372,961 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(372,961) = 31
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(372,961) x common factors =31 x 1 = 31
LCM(372,961) = ( 372 × 961 ) / 31
LCM(372,961) = 357492 / 31
LCM(372,961) = 11532
