Factors of 8306
List of positive integer factors of 8306 that divides 8306 without a remainder.
1,2,4153,8306
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 388,8306 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 388,8306 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 395,221
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 87295
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/87295
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 388/395,8306/221 is 2/87295
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 395,221 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(395,221) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(395,221) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(395,221) = ( 395 × 221 ) / 1
LCM(395,221) = 87295 / 1
LCM(395,221) = 87295
