Factors of 5739
List of positive integer factors of 5739 that divides 5739 without a remainder.
1,3,1913,5739
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8502,5739 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8502,5739 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 51,920
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 46920
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/46920
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8502/51,5739/920 is 3/46920
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 51,920 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(51,920) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(51,920) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(51,920) = ( 51 × 920 ) / 1
LCM(51,920) = 46920 / 1
LCM(51,920) = 46920
