Factors of 8789
List of positive integer factors of 8789 that divides 8789 without a remainder.
1,11,17,47,187,517,799,8789
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7173,8789 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7173,8789 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 24,990
2 | 24, 990 |
3 | 12, 495 |
4, 165 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 4 x 165 = 3960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7173/24,8789/990 is 1/3960
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 24,990 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(24,990) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(24,990) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(24,990) = ( 24 × 990 ) / 6
LCM(24,990) = 23760 / 6
LCM(24,990) = 3960
