1,2,1777,3554
Factors of 6238
List of positive integer factors of 6238 that divides 6238 without a remainder.
1,2,3119,6238
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3554,6238 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3554,6238 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 773,315
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 243495
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/243495
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3554/773,6238/315 is 2/243495
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 773,315 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(773,315) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(773,315) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(773,315) = ( 773 × 315 ) / 1
LCM(773,315) = 243495 / 1
LCM(773,315) = 243495
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
