Factors of 4321
List of positive integer factors of 4321 that divides 4321 without a remainder.
1,29,149,4321
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 328,4321 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 328,4321 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 473,231
11 | 473, 231 |
43, 21 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 43 x 21 = 9933
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/9933
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 328/473,4321/231 is 1/9933
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 473,231 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(473,231) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(473,231) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(473,231) = ( 473 × 231 ) / 11
LCM(473,231) = 109263 / 11
LCM(473,231) = 9933
