List of positive integer factors of 8536 that divides 8536 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,11,22,44,88,97,194,388,776,1067,2134,4268,8536
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2992,8536 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2992,8536 is 88.
Lets's calculate LCM of 22,171
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3762
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 88/3762
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2992/22,8536/171 is 88/3762
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 22,171 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(22,171) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(22,171) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(22,171) = ( 22 × 171 ) / 1
LCM(22,171) = 3762 / 1
LCM(22,171) = 3762
