1,29,89,2581
Factors of 4321
List of positive integer factors of 4321 that divides 4321 without a remainder.
1,29,149,4321
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2581,4321 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2581,4321 is 29.
Lets's calculate LCM of 961,9177
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8819097
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 29/8819097
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2581/961,4321/9177 is 29/8819097
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 961,9177 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(961,9177) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(961,9177) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(961,9177) = ( 961 × 9177 ) / 1
LCM(961,9177) = 8819097 / 1
LCM(961,9177) = 8819097
