Factors of 1187
List of positive integer factors of 1187 that divides 1187 without a remainder.
1,1187
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5964,1187 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5964,1187 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 131,439
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 57509
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/57509
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5964/131,1187/439 is 1/57509
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 131,439 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(131,439) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(131,439) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(131,439) = ( 131 × 439 ) / 1
LCM(131,439) = 57509 / 1
LCM(131,439) = 57509
