1,5,149,745
Factors of 1522
List of positive integer factors of 1522 that divides 1522 without a remainder.
1,2,761,1522
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 745,1522 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 745,1522 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 980,938
2 | 980, 938 |
7 | 490, 469 |
70, 67 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 70 x 67 = 65660
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/65660
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 745/980,1522/938 is 1/65660
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 980,938 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(980,938) = 14
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(980,938) x common factors =14 x 1 = 14
LCM(980,938) = ( 980 × 938 ) / 14
LCM(980,938) = 919240 / 14
LCM(980,938) = 65660
