Factors of 8900
List of positive integer factors of 8900 that divides 8900 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,10,20,25,50,89,100,178,356,445,890,1780,2225,4450,8900
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2750,8900 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2750,8900 is 50.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,594
2 | 16, 594 |
8, 297 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 8 x 297 = 4752
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 50/4752
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2750/16,8900/594 is 50/4752
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 16,594 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,594) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(16,594) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(16,594) = ( 16 × 594 ) / 2
LCM(16,594) = 9504 / 2
LCM(16,594) = 4752
