List of positive integer factors of 3970 that divides 3970 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,397,794,1985,3970
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 564,3970 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 564,3970 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 48,889
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 42672
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/42672
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 564/48,3970/889 is 2/42672
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 48,889 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(48,889) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(48,889) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(48,889) = ( 48 × 889 ) / 1
LCM(48,889) = 42672 / 1
LCM(48,889) = 42672
