Factors of 3045
List of positive integer factors of 3045 that divides 3045 without a remainder.
1,3,5,7,15,21,29,35,87,105,145,203,435,609,1015,3045
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2615,3045 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2615,3045 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 21,553
7 | 21, 553 |
3, 79 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 3 x 79 = 1659
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/1659
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2615/21,3045/553 is 5/1659
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 21,553 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(21,553) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(21,553) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(21,553) = ( 21 × 553 ) / 7
LCM(21,553) = 11613 / 7
LCM(21,553) = 1659
