Factors of 2003
List of positive integer factors of 2003 that divides 2003 without a remainder.
1,2003
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3588,2003 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3588,2003 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 371,946
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 350966
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/350966
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3588/371,2003/946 is 1/350966
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 371,946 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(371,946) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(371,946) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(371,946) = ( 371 × 946 ) / 1
LCM(371,946) = 350966 / 1
LCM(371,946) = 350966
