1,1997
Factors of 3719
List of positive integer factors of 3719 that divides 3719 without a remainder.
1,3719
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1997,3719 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1997,3719 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 297,836
11 | 297, 836 |
27, 76 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 27 x 76 = 22572
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/22572
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1997/297,3719/836 is 1/22572
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 297,836 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(297,836) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(297,836) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(297,836) = ( 297 × 836 ) / 11
LCM(297,836) = 248292 / 11
LCM(297,836) = 22572
