Factors of 8986
List of positive integer factors of 8986 that divides 8986 without a remainder.
1,2,4493,8986
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 974,8986 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 974,8986 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 949,120
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 113880
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/113880
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 974/949,8986/120 is 2/113880
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 949,120 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(949,120) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(949,120) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(949,120) = ( 949 × 120 ) / 1
LCM(949,120) = 113880 / 1
LCM(949,120) = 113880
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
