Factors of 601
List of positive integer factors of 601 that divides 601 without a remainder.
1, 601
The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 600 and 601, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(600,601) = 1
LCM(600,601) = ( 600 × 601) / 1
LCM(600,601) = 360600 / 1
LCM(600,601) = 360600
(i) The LCM of 601 and 600 is associative
LCM of 600 and 601 = LCM of 601 and 600
