Factors of 1231
List of positive integer factors of 1231 that divides 1231 without a remainder.
1, 1231
The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 1230 and 1231, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(1230,1231) = 1
LCM(1230,1231) = ( 1230 × 1231) / 1
LCM(1230,1231) = 1514130 / 1
LCM(1230,1231) = 1514130
(i) The LCM of 1231 and 1230 is associative
