1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12,14,15,16,18,20,21,24,28,30,35,36,40,42,45,48,56,60,63,70,72,80,84,90,105,112,120,126,140,144,168,180,210,240,252,280,315,336,360,420,504,560,630,720,840,1008,1260,1680,2520,5040
Factors of 2381
List of positive integer factors of 2381 that divides 2381 without a remainder.
1,2381
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5040,2381 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5040,2381 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 726,843
3 | 726, 843 |
242, 281 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 242 x 281 = 204006
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/204006
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5040/726,2381/843 is 1/204006
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 726,843 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(726,843) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(726,843) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(726,843) = ( 726 × 843 ) / 3
LCM(726,843) = 612018 / 3
LCM(726,843) = 204006
