List of positive integer factors of 3551 that divides 3551 without a remainder.
1,53,67,3551
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1661,3551 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1661,3551 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 334,564
2 | 334, 564 |
167, 282 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 167 x 282 = 94188
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/94188
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1661/334,3551/564 is 1/94188
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 334,564 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(334,564) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(334,564) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(334,564) = ( 334 × 564 ) / 2
LCM(334,564) = 188376 / 2
LCM(334,564) = 94188
