1,7,23,161
Factors of 8783
List of positive integer factors of 8783 that divides 8783 without a remainder.
1,8783
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 161,8783 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 161,8783 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 246,723
3 | 246, 723 |
82, 241 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 82 x 241 = 59286
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/59286
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 161/246,8783/723 is 1/59286
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 246,723 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(246,723) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(246,723) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(246,723) = ( 246 × 723 ) / 3
LCM(246,723) = 177858 / 3
LCM(246,723) = 59286
