Factors of 8121
List of positive integer factors of 8121 that divides 8121 without a remainder.
1,3,2707,8121
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6579,8121 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6579,8121 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 53,195
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 10335
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/10335
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6579/53,8121/195 is 3/10335
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 53,195 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(53,195) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(53,195) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(53,195) = ( 53 × 195 ) / 1
LCM(53,195) = 10335 / 1
LCM(53,195) = 10335
