Factors of 3855
List of positive integer factors of 3855 that divides 3855 without a remainder.
1,3,5,15,257,771,1285,3855
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 254,3855 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 254,3855 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 518,590
2 | 518, 590 |
259, 295 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 259 x 295 = 152810
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/152810
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 254/518,3855/590 is 1/152810
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 518,590 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(518,590) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(518,590) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(518,590) = ( 518 × 590 ) / 2
LCM(518,590) = 305620 / 2
LCM(518,590) = 152810
