Factors of 638
List of positive integer factors of 638 that divides 638 without a remainder.
1,2,11,22,29,58,319,638
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 490,638 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 490,638 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,5136
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 190032
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/190032
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 490/37,638/5136 is 2/190032
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 37,5136 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,5136) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(37,5136) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(37,5136) = ( 37 × 5136 ) / 1
LCM(37,5136) = 190032 / 1
LCM(37,5136) = 190032
