1,5,67,335
Factors of 5971
List of positive integer factors of 5971 that divides 5971 without a remainder.
1,7,853,5971
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 335,5971 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 335,5971 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 290,498
2 | 290, 498 |
145, 249 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 145 x 249 = 72210
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/72210
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 335/290,5971/498 is 1/72210
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 290,498 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(290,498) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(290,498) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(290,498) = ( 290 × 498 ) / 2
LCM(290,498) = 144420 / 2
LCM(290,498) = 72210
