List of positive integer factors of 864 that divides 864 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,16,18,24,27,32,36,48,54,72,96,108,144,216,288,432,864
Factors of 694
List of positive integer factors of 694 that divides 694 without a remainder.
1,2,347,694
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 864,694 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 864,694 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 243,119
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 28917
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/28917
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 864/243,694/119 is 2/28917
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 243,119 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(243,119) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(243,119) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(243,119) = ( 243 × 119 ) / 1
LCM(243,119) = 28917 / 1
LCM(243,119) = 28917
