Factors of 5702
List of positive integer factors of 5702 that divides 5702 without a remainder.
1,2,2851,5702
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 896,5702 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 896,5702 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 59,956
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 56404
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/56404
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 896/59,5702/956 is 2/56404
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 59,956 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(59,956) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(59,956) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(59,956) = ( 59 × 956 ) / 1
LCM(59,956) = 56404 / 1
LCM(59,956) = 56404
