1,2,1873,3746
Factors of 1294
List of positive integer factors of 1294 that divides 1294 without a remainder.
1,2,647,1294
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3746,1294 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3746,1294 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 966,755
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 729330
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/729330
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3746/966,1294/755 is 2/729330
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 966,755 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(966,755) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(966,755) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(966,755) = ( 966 × 755 ) / 1
LCM(966,755) = 729330 / 1
LCM(966,755) = 729330
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
