Factors of 1378
List of positive integer factors of 1378 that divides 1378 without a remainder.
1,2,13,26,53,106,689,1378
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 404,1378 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 404,1378 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 573,730
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 418290
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/418290
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 404/573,1378/730 is 2/418290
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 573,730 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(573,730) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(573,730) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(573,730) = ( 573 × 730 ) / 1
LCM(573,730) = 418290 / 1
LCM(573,730) = 418290
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
