1,2,3,4,6,12,163,326,489,652,978,1956
Factors of 3491
List of positive integer factors of 3491 that divides 3491 without a remainder.
1,3491
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1956,3491 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1956,3491 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 962,953
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 916786
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/916786
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1956/962,3491/953 is 1/916786
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 962,953 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(962,953) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(962,953) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(962,953) = ( 962 × 953 ) / 1
LCM(962,953) = 916786 / 1
LCM(962,953) = 916786
