Factors of 8511
List of positive integer factors of 8511 that divides 8511 without a remainder.
1,3,2837,8511
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4250,8511 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4250,8511 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 63,237
3 | 63, 237 |
21, 79 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 21 x 79 = 4977
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4977
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4250/63,8511/237 is 1/4977
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 63,237 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(63,237) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(63,237) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(63,237) = ( 63 × 237 ) / 3
LCM(63,237) = 14931 / 3
LCM(63,237) = 4977
