Factors of 1290
List of positive integer factors of 1290 that divides 1290 without a remainder.
1,2,3,5,6,10,15,30,43,86,129,215,258,430,645,1290
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 549,1290 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 549,1290 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 119,786
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 93534
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/93534
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 549/119,1290/786 is 3/93534
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 119,786 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(119,786) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(119,786) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(119,786) = ( 119 × 786 ) / 1
LCM(119,786) = 93534 / 1
LCM(119,786) = 93534
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
