Factors of 458
List of positive integer factors of 458 that divides 458 without a remainder.
1,2,229,458
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 588,458 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 588,458 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,9143
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 146288
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/146288
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 588/16,458/9143 is 2/146288
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 16,9143 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,9143) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(16,9143) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(16,9143) = ( 16 × 9143 ) / 1
LCM(16,9143) = 146288 / 1
LCM(16,9143) = 146288
