1,2,4,8,11,22,44,88,121,242,484,968
Factors of 261
List of positive integer factors of 261 that divides 261 without a remainder.
1,3,9,29,87,261
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 968,261 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 968,261 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 8872,2013
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 17859336
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/17859336
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 968/8872,261/2013 is 1/17859336
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 8872,2013 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(8872,2013) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(8872,2013) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(8872,2013) = ( 8872 × 2013 ) / 1
LCM(8872,2013) = 17859336 / 1
LCM(8872,2013) = 17859336
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
