Factors of 8939
List of positive integer factors of 8939 that divides 8939 without a remainder.
1,7,1277,8939
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 531,8939 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 531,8939 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 986,155
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 152830
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/152830
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 531/986,8939/155 is 1/152830
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 986,155 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(986,155) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(986,155) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(986,155) = ( 986 × 155 ) / 1
LCM(986,155) = 152830 / 1
LCM(986,155) = 152830
