Factors of 1241
List of positive integer factors of 1241 that divides 1241 without a remainder.
1,17,73,1241
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2520,1241 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2520,1241 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 122,320
2 | 122, 320 |
61, 160 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 61 x 160 = 19520
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/19520
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2520/122,1241/320 is 1/19520
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 122,320 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(122,320) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(122,320) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(122,320) = ( 122 × 320 ) / 2
LCM(122,320) = 39040 / 2
LCM(122,320) = 19520
