Factors of 958
List of positive integer factors of 958 that divides 958 without a remainder.
1,2,479,958
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 98,42,958 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 98,42,958 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 31,86,795
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2119470
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2119470
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 98/31,42/86,958/795 is 2/2119470
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 31,86,795 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(31,86,795) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(31,86,795) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(31,86,795) = ( 31 × 86 × 795 ) / 1
LCM(31,86,795) = 2119470 / 1
LCM(31,86,795) = 2119470
