List of positive integer factors of 160 that divides 160 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,8,10,16,20,32,40,80,160
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 297,160 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 297,160 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 9523,4249
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 40463227
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/40463227
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 297/9523,160/4249 is 1/40463227
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 9523,4249 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(9523,4249) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(9523,4249) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(9523,4249) = ( 9523 × 4249 ) / 1
LCM(9523,4249) = 40463227 / 1
LCM(9523,4249) = 40463227
