Factors of 3298
List of positive integer factors of 3298 that divides 3298 without a remainder.
1,2,17,34,97,194,1649,3298
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 494,3298 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 494,3298 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 99,455
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 45045
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/45045
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 494/99,3298/455 is 2/45045
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 99,455 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(99,455) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(99,455) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(99,455) = ( 99 × 455 ) / 1
LCM(99,455) = 45045 / 1
LCM(99,455) = 45045
