1,2,59,118
Factors of 7492
List of positive integer factors of 7492 that divides 7492 without a remainder.
1,2,4,1873,3746,7492
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 118,7492 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 118,7492 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 137,587
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 80419
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/80419
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 118/137,7492/587 is 2/80419
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 137,587 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(137,587) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(137,587) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(137,587) = ( 137 × 587 ) / 1
LCM(137,587) = 80419 / 1
LCM(137,587) = 80419
