List of positive integer factors of 1539 that divides 1539 without a remainder.
1,3,9,19,27,57,81,171,513,1539
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 574,1539 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 574,1539 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 520,306
2 | 520, 306 |
260, 153 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 260 x 153 = 79560
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/79560
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 574/520,1539/306 is 1/79560
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 520,306 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(520,306) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(520,306) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(520,306) = ( 520 × 306 ) / 2
LCM(520,306) = 159120 / 2
LCM(520,306) = 79560
