Factors of 8746
List of positive integer factors of 8746 that divides 8746 without a remainder.
1,2,4373,8746
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6742,8746 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6742,8746 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 215,356
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 76540
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/76540
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6742/215,8746/356 is 2/76540
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 215,356 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(215,356) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(215,356) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(215,356) = ( 215 × 356 ) / 1
LCM(215,356) = 76540 / 1
LCM(215,356) = 76540
