List of positive integer factors of 7471 that divides 7471 without a remainder.
1,31,241,7471
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1299,7471 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1299,7471 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 500,3142
2 | 500, 3142 |
250, 1571 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 250 x 1571 = 785500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/785500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1299/500,7471/3142 is 1/785500
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 500,3142 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(500,3142) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(500,3142) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(500,3142) = ( 500 × 3142 ) / 2
LCM(500,3142) = 1571000 / 2
LCM(500,3142) = 785500
