1,2,4,53,106,212
Factors of 659
List of positive integer factors of 659 that divides 659 without a remainder.
1,659
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 212,659 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 212,659 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 1973,4945
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 9756485
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/9756485
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 212/1973,659/4945 is 1/9756485
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 1973,4945 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(1973,4945) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(1973,4945) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(1973,4945) = ( 1973 × 4945 ) / 1
LCM(1973,4945) = 9756485 / 1
LCM(1973,4945) = 9756485
