Factors of 562
List of positive integer factors of 562 that divides 562 without a remainder.
1,2,281,562
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 854,562 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 854,562 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 887,437
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 387619
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/387619
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 854/887,562/437 is 2/387619
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 887,437 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(887,437) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(887,437) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(887,437) = ( 887 × 437 ) / 1
LCM(887,437) = 387619 / 1
LCM(887,437) = 387619
