List of positive integer factors of 3239 that divides 3239 without a remainder.
1,41,79,3239
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 48,3239 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 48,3239 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 836,2585
11 | 836, 2585 |
76, 235 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 76 x 235 = 196460
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/196460
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 48/836,3239/2585 is 1/196460
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 836,2585 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(836,2585) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(836,2585) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(836,2585) = ( 836 × 2585 ) / 11
LCM(836,2585) = 2161060 / 11
LCM(836,2585) = 196460
