List of positive integer factors of 2421 that divides 2421 without a remainder.
1,3,9,269,807,2421
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8891,2421 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8891,2421 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 749,1718
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1286782
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1286782
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8891/749,2421/1718 is 1/1286782
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 749,1718 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(749,1718) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(749,1718) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(749,1718) = ( 749 × 1718 ) / 1
LCM(749,1718) = 1286782 / 1
LCM(749,1718) = 1286782
