1,3,11,33,83,249,913,2739
Factors of 4146
List of positive integer factors of 4146 that divides 4146 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,691,1382,2073,4146
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2739,4146 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2739,4146 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 908,171
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 155268
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/155268
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2739/908,4146/171 is 3/155268
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 908,171 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(908,171) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(908,171) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(908,171) = ( 908 × 171 ) / 1
LCM(908,171) = 155268 / 1
LCM(908,171) = 155268
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
