Factors of 1718
List of positive integer factors of 1718 that divides 1718 without a remainder.
1,2,859,1718
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 788,1718 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 788,1718 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 559,279
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 155961
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/155961
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 788/559,1718/279 is 2/155961
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 559,279 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(559,279) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(559,279) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(559,279) = ( 559 × 279 ) / 1
LCM(559,279) = 155961 / 1
LCM(559,279) = 155961
