List of positive integer factors of 4201 that divides 4201 without a remainder.
1,4201
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 896,4201 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 896,4201 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 720,736
2 | 720, 736 |
2 | 360, 368 |
2 | 180, 184 |
2 | 90, 92 |
45, 46 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 45 x 46 = 33120
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/33120
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 896/720,4201/736 is 1/33120
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 720,736 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(720,736) = 16
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(720,736) x common factors =16 x 1 = 16
LCM(720,736) = ( 720 × 736 ) / 16
LCM(720,736) = 529920 / 16
LCM(720,736) = 33120
