Factors of 5234
List of positive integer factors of 5234 that divides 5234 without a remainder.
1,2,2617,5234
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6442,5234 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6442,5234 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 149,611
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 91039
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/91039
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6442/149,5234/611 is 2/91039
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 149,611 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(149,611) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(149,611) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(149,611) = ( 149 × 611 ) / 1
LCM(149,611) = 91039 / 1
LCM(149,611) = 91039
