List of positive integer factors of 850 that divides 850 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,17,25,34,50,85,170,425,850
Factors of 2609
List of positive integer factors of 2609 that divides 2609 without a remainder.
1,2609
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 850,2609 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 850,2609 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 118,5041
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 594838
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/594838
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 850/118,2609/5041 is 1/594838
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 118,5041 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(118,5041) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(118,5041) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(118,5041) = ( 118 × 5041 ) / 1
LCM(118,5041) = 594838 / 1
LCM(118,5041) = 594838
