List of positive integer factors of 1461 that divides 1461 without a remainder.
1,3,487,1461
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9960,1461 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9960,1461 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 399,955
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 381045
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/381045
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9960/399,1461/955 is 3/381045
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 399,955 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(399,955) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(399,955) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(399,955) = ( 399 × 955 ) / 1
LCM(399,955) = 381045 / 1
LCM(399,955) = 381045
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
