Factors of 5965
List of positive integer factors of 5965 that divides 5965 without a remainder.
1,5,1193,5965
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 425,5965 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 425,5965 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 157,882
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 138474
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/138474
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 425/157,5965/882 is 5/138474
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 157,882 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(157,882) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(157,882) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(157,882) = ( 157 × 882 ) / 1
LCM(157,882) = 138474 / 1
LCM(157,882) = 138474
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
