Factors of 8033
List of positive integer factors of 8033 that divides 8033 without a remainder.
1,29,277,8033
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 725,8033 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 725,8033 is 29.
Lets's calculate LCM of 550,142
2 | 550, 142 |
275, 71 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 275 x 71 = 39050
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 29/39050
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 725/550,8033/142 is 29/39050
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 550,142 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(550,142) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(550,142) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(550,142) = ( 550 × 142 ) / 2
LCM(550,142) = 78100 / 2
LCM(550,142) = 39050
