1,2,4,8,281,562,1124,2248
Factors of 7131
List of positive integer factors of 7131 that divides 7131 without a remainder.
1,3,2377,7131
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2248,7131 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2248,7131 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 178,897
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 159666
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/159666
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2248/178,7131/897 is 1/159666
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 178,897 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(178,897) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(178,897) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(178,897) = ( 178 × 897 ) / 1
LCM(178,897) = 159666 / 1
LCM(178,897) = 159666
