Factors of 166
List of positive integer factors of 166 that divides 166 without a remainder.
1,2,83,166
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 636,166 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 636,166 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 404,418
2 | 404, 418 |
202, 209 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 202 x 209 = 84436
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/84436
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 636/404,166/418 is 2/84436
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 404,418 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(404,418) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(404,418) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(404,418) = ( 404 × 418 ) / 2
LCM(404,418) = 168872 / 2
LCM(404,418) = 84436
