Factors of 1055
List of positive integer factors of 1055 that divides 1055 without a remainder.
1,5,211,1055
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1759,1055 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1759,1055 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 144,340
2 | 144, 340 |
2 | 72, 170 |
36, 85 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 36 x 85 = 12240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/12240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1759/144,1055/340 is 1/12240
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 144,340 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(144,340) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(144,340) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(144,340) = ( 144 × 340 ) / 4
LCM(144,340) = 48960 / 4
LCM(144,340) = 12240
