List of positive integer factors of 9021 that divides 9021 without a remainder.
1,3,31,93,97,291,3007,9021
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2759,9021 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2759,9021 is 31.
Lets's calculate LCM of 372,537
3 | 372, 537 |
124, 179 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 124 x 179 = 66588
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 31/66588
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2759/372,9021/537 is 31/66588
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 372,537 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(372,537) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(372,537) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(372,537) = ( 372 × 537 ) / 3
LCM(372,537) = 199764 / 3
LCM(372,537) = 66588
