List of positive integer factors of 980 that divides 980 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,7,10,14,20,28,35,49,70,98,140,196,245,490,980
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 352,980 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 352,980 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,8346
3 | 15, 8346 |
5, 2782 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 5 x 2782 = 41730
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/41730
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 352/15,980/8346 is 4/41730
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 15,8346 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,8346) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(15,8346) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(15,8346) = ( 15 × 8346 ) / 3
LCM(15,8346) = 125190 / 3
LCM(15,8346) = 41730
