List of positive integer factors of 315 that divides 315 without a remainder.
1,3,5,7,9,15,21,35,45,63,105,315
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 251,315 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 251,315 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 4431,5938
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 26311278
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/26311278
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 251/4431,315/5938 is 1/26311278
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 4431,5938 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(4431,5938) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(4431,5938) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(4431,5938) = ( 4431 × 5938 ) / 1
LCM(4431,5938) = 26311278 / 1
LCM(4431,5938) = 26311278
