List of positive integer factors of 738 that divides 738 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,18,41,82,123,246,369,738
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 507,738 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 507,738 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 580,104
2 | 580, 104 |
2 | 290, 52 |
145, 26 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 145 x 26 = 15080
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/15080
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 507/580,738/104 is 3/15080
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 580,104 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(580,104) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(580,104) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(580,104) = ( 580 × 104 ) / 4
LCM(580,104) = 60320 / 4
LCM(580,104) = 15080
