1,3,2417,7251
Factors of 9879
List of positive integer factors of 9879 that divides 9879 without a remainder.
1,3,37,89,111,267,3293,9879
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7251,9879 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7251,9879 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 958,243
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 232794
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/232794
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7251/958,9879/243 is 3/232794
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 958,243 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(958,243) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(958,243) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(958,243) = ( 958 × 243 ) / 1
LCM(958,243) = 232794 / 1
LCM(958,243) = 232794
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
