1,2,13,26,163,326,2119,4238
Factors of 2015
List of positive integer factors of 2015 that divides 2015 without a remainder.
1,5,13,31,65,155,403,2015
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4238,2015 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4238,2015 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 341,384
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 130944
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/130944
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4238/341,2015/384 is 13/130944
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 341,384 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(341,384) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(341,384) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(341,384) = ( 341 × 384 ) / 1
LCM(341,384) = 130944 / 1
LCM(341,384) = 130944
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
