List of positive integer factors of 9831 that divides 9831 without a remainder.
1,3,29,87,113,339,3277,9831
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 956,9831 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 956,9831 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 420,735
3 | 420, 735 |
5 | 140, 245 |
7 | 28, 49 |
4, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 5 x 7 x 4 x 7 = 2940
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2940
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 956/420,9831/735 is 1/2940
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 420,735 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(420,735) = 105
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(420,735) x common factors =105 x 1 = 105
LCM(420,735) = ( 420 × 735 ) / 105
LCM(420,735) = 308700 / 105
LCM(420,735) = 2940
