1,1217
Factors of 2224
List of positive integer factors of 2224 that divides 2224 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,16,139,278,556,1112,2224
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1217,2224 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1217,2224 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 731,707
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 516817
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/516817
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1217/731,2224/707 is 1/516817
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 731,707 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(731,707) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(731,707) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(731,707) = ( 731 × 707 ) / 1
LCM(731,707) = 516817 / 1
LCM(731,707) = 516817
