List of positive integer factors of 524 that divides 524 without a remainder.
1,2,4,131,262,524
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 708,524 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 708,524 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 99,8989
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 889911
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/889911
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 708/99,524/8989 is 4/889911
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 99,8989 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(99,8989) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(99,8989) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(99,8989) = ( 99 × 8989 ) / 1
LCM(99,8989) = 889911 / 1
LCM(99,8989) = 889911
