Factors of 373
List of positive integer factors of 373 that divides 373 without a remainder.
1,373
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 987,373 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 987,373 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 874,252
2 | 874, 252 |
437, 126 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 437 x 126 = 110124
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/110124
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 987/874,373/252 is 1/110124
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 874,252 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(874,252) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(874,252) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(874,252) = ( 874 × 252 ) / 2
LCM(874,252) = 220248 / 2
LCM(874,252) = 110124
