Factors of 1147
List of positive integer factors of 1147 that divides 1147 without a remainder.
1,31,37,1147
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3224,1147 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3224,1147 is 31.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,815
5 | 20, 815 |
4, 163 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 4 x 163 = 3260
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 31/3260
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3224/20,1147/815 is 31/3260
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 20,815 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,815) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(20,815) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(20,815) = ( 20 × 815 ) / 5
LCM(20,815) = 16300 / 5
LCM(20,815) = 3260
