Factors of 9560
List of positive integer factors of 9560 that divides 9560 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,8,10,20,40,239,478,956,1195,1912,2390,4780,9560
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 246,9560 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 246,9560 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 49,243
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 11907
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/11907
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 246/49,9560/243 is 2/11907
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 49,243 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(49,243) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(49,243) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(49,243) = ( 49 × 243 ) / 1
LCM(49,243) = 11907 / 1
LCM(49,243) = 11907
