List of positive integer factors of 1161 that divides 1161 without a remainder.
1,3,9,27,43,129,387,1161
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6459,1161 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6459,1161 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 740,200
2 | 740, 200 |
2 | 370, 100 |
5 | 185, 50 |
37, 10 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 37 x 10 = 7400
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/7400
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6459/740,1161/200 is 3/7400
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 740,200 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(740,200) = 20
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(740,200) x common factors =20 x 1 = 20
LCM(740,200) = ( 740 × 200 ) / 20
LCM(740,200) = 148000 / 20
LCM(740,200) = 7400
