Factors of 3155
List of positive integer factors of 3155 that divides 3155 without a remainder.
1,5,631,3155
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8548,3155 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8548,3155 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 520,1991
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1035320
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1035320
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8548/520,3155/1991 is 1/1035320
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 520,1991 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(520,1991) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(520,1991) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(520,1991) = ( 520 × 1991 ) / 1
LCM(520,1991) = 1035320 / 1
LCM(520,1991) = 1035320
