1,5,173,865
Factors of 635
List of positive integer factors of 635 that divides 635 without a remainder.
1,5,127,635
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 865,635 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 865,635 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 5302,5987
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 31743074
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/31743074
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 865/5302,635/5987 is 5/31743074
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 5302,5987 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(5302,5987) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(5302,5987) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(5302,5987) = ( 5302 × 5987 ) / 1
LCM(5302,5987) = 31743074 / 1
LCM(5302,5987) = 31743074
