Factors of 3954
List of positive integer factors of 3954 that divides 3954 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,659,1318,1977,3954
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5640,3954 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5640,3954 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,663
3 | 12, 663 |
4, 221 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 4 x 221 = 2652
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/2652
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5640/12,3954/663 is 6/2652
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 12,663 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,663) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(12,663) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(12,663) = ( 12 × 663 ) / 3
LCM(12,663) = 7956 / 3
LCM(12,663) = 2652
