Factors of 1607
List of positive integer factors of 1607 that divides 1607 without a remainder.
1,1607
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3632,1607 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3632,1607 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 99,198
3 | 99, 198 |
3 | 33, 66 |
11 | 11, 22 |
1, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 11 x 1 x 2 = 198
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/198
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3632/99,1607/198 is 1/198
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 99,198 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(99,198) = 99
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(99,198) x common factors =99 x 1 = 99
LCM(99,198) = ( 99 × 198 ) / 99
LCM(99,198) = 19602 / 99
LCM(99,198) = 198
