1,3,167,501
Factors of 884
List of positive integer factors of 884 that divides 884 without a remainder.
1,2,4,13,17,26,34,52,68,221,442,884
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 501,884 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 501,884 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 7200,2543
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 18309600
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/18309600
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 501/7200,884/2543 is 1/18309600
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 7200,2543 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(7200,2543) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(7200,2543) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(7200,2543) = ( 7200 × 2543 ) / 1
LCM(7200,2543) = 18309600 / 1
LCM(7200,2543) = 18309600
