Factors of 1187
List of positive integer factors of 1187 that divides 1187 without a remainder.
1,1187
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3268,1187 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3268,1187 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 780,262
2 | 780, 262 |
390, 131 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 390 x 131 = 102180
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/102180
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3268/780,1187/262 is 1/102180
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 780,262 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(780,262) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(780,262) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(780,262) = ( 780 × 262 ) / 2
LCM(780,262) = 204360 / 2
LCM(780,262) = 102180
