Factors of 7100
List of positive integer factors of 7100 that divides 7100 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,10,20,25,50,71,100,142,284,355,710,1420,1775,3550,7100
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3158,7100 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3158,7100 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 352,594
2 | 352, 594 |
11 | 176, 297 |
16, 27 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 11 x 16 x 27 = 9504
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/9504
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3158/352,7100/594 is 2/9504
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 352,594 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(352,594) = 22
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(352,594) x common factors =22 x 1 = 22
LCM(352,594) = ( 352 × 594 ) / 22
LCM(352,594) = 209088 / 22
LCM(352,594) = 9504
