List of positive integer factors of 5926 that divides 5926 without a remainder.
1,2,2963,5926
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3601,5926 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3601,5926 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 84,855
3 | 84, 855 |
28, 285 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 28 x 285 = 23940
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/23940
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3601/84,5926/855 is 1/23940
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 84,855 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(84,855) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(84,855) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(84,855) = ( 84 × 855 ) / 3
LCM(84,855) = 71820 / 3
LCM(84,855) = 23940
