Factors of 1252
List of positive integer factors of 1252 that divides 1252 without a remainder.
1,2,4,313,626,1252
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3468,1252 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3468,1252 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 23,197
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4531
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/4531
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3468/23,1252/197 is 4/4531
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 23,197 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(23,197) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(23,197) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(23,197) = ( 23 × 197 ) / 1
LCM(23,197) = 4531 / 1
LCM(23,197) = 4531
