1,3,7,21
Factors of 5232
List of positive integer factors of 5232 that divides 5232 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,48,109,218,327,436,654,872,1308,1744,2616,5232
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 21,5232 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 21,5232 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 661,4013
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2652593
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/2652593
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 21/661,5232/4013 is 3/2652593
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 661,4013 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(661,4013) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(661,4013) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(661,4013) = ( 661 × 4013 ) / 1
LCM(661,4013) = 2652593 / 1
LCM(661,4013) = 2652593
