List of positive integer factors of 1539 that divides 1539 without a remainder.
1,3,9,19,27,57,81,171,513,1539
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 18,1539 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 18,1539 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 564,8676
2 | 564, 8676 |
2 | 282, 4338 |
3 | 141, 2169 |
47, 723 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 47 x 723 = 407772
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/407772
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 18/564,1539/8676 is 9/407772
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 564,8676 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(564,8676) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(564,8676) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(564,8676) = ( 564 × 8676 ) / 12
LCM(564,8676) = 4893264 / 12
LCM(564,8676) = 407772
