Factors of 209
List of positive integer factors of 209 that divides 209 without a remainder.
1,11,19,209
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 572,209 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 572,209 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 35,3887
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 136045
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/136045
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 572/35,209/3887 is 11/136045
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 35,3887 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(35,3887) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(35,3887) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(35,3887) = ( 35 × 3887 ) / 1
LCM(35,3887) = 136045 / 1
LCM(35,3887) = 136045
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
