Factors of 6938
List of positive integer factors of 6938 that divides 6938 without a remainder.
1,2,3469,6938
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 196,6938 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 196,6938 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 493,809
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 398837
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/398837
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 196/493,6938/809 is 2/398837
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 493,809 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(493,809) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(493,809) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(493,809) = ( 493 × 809 ) / 1
LCM(493,809) = 398837 / 1
LCM(493,809) = 398837
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
