Factors of 8185
List of positive integer factors of 8185 that divides 8185 without a remainder.
1,5,1637,8185
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5538,8185 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5538,8185 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,254
2 | 12, 254 |
6, 127 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 6 x 127 = 1524
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1524
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5538/12,8185/254 is 1/1524
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 12,254 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,254) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(12,254) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(12,254) = ( 12 × 254 ) / 2
LCM(12,254) = 3048 / 2
LCM(12,254) = 1524
