Factors of 1058
List of positive integer factors of 1058 that divides 1058 without a remainder.
1,2,23,46,529,1058
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 312,1058 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 312,1058 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 79,209
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 16511
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/16511
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 312/79,1058/209 is 2/16511
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 79,209 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(79,209) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(79,209) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(79,209) = ( 79 × 209 ) / 1
LCM(79,209) = 16511 / 1
LCM(79,209) = 16511
