List of positive integer factors of 3681 that divides 3681 without a remainder.
1,3,9,409,1227,3681
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1982,3681 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1982,3681 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 197,1585
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 312245
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/312245
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1982/197,3681/1585 is 1/312245
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 197,1585 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(197,1585) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(197,1585) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(197,1585) = ( 197 × 1585 ) / 1
LCM(197,1585) = 312245 / 1
LCM(197,1585) = 312245
