Factors of 1136
List of positive integer factors of 1136 that divides 1136 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,16,71,142,284,568,1136
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2248,1136 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2248,1136 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 840,667
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 560280
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/560280
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2248/840,1136/667 is 8/560280
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 840,667 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(840,667) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(840,667) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(840,667) = ( 840 × 667 ) / 1
LCM(840,667) = 560280 / 1
LCM(840,667) = 560280
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
