Factors of 1538
List of positive integer factors of 1538 that divides 1538 without a remainder.
1,2,769,1538
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 240,1538 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 240,1538 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 63,458
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 28854
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/28854
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 240/63,1538/458 is 2/28854
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 63,458 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(63,458) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(63,458) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(63,458) = ( 63 × 458 ) / 1
LCM(63,458) = 28854 / 1
LCM(63,458) = 28854
