Factors of 1882
List of positive integer factors of 1882 that divides 1882 without a remainder.
1,2,941,1882
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5334,1882 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5334,1882 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,331
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3972
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3972
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5334/12,1882/331 is 2/3972
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 12,331 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,331) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(12,331) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(12,331) = ( 12 × 331 ) / 1
LCM(12,331) = 3972 / 1
LCM(12,331) = 3972
