List of positive integer factors of 1887 that divides 1887 without a remainder.
1,3,17,37,51,111,629,1887
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4401,1887 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4401,1887 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 27,388
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 10476
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/10476
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4401/27,1887/388 is 3/10476
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 27,388 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(27,388) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(27,388) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(27,388) = ( 27 × 388 ) / 1
LCM(27,388) = 10476 / 1
LCM(27,388) = 10476
