List of positive integer factors of 6239 that divides 6239 without a remainder.
1,17,367,6239
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3958,6239 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3958,6239 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 46,166
2 | 46, 166 |
23, 83 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 23 x 83 = 3818
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3818
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3958/46,6239/166 is 1/3818
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 46,166 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(46,166) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(46,166) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(46,166) = ( 46 × 166 ) / 2
LCM(46,166) = 7636 / 2
LCM(46,166) = 3818
