1,3511
Factors of 7970
List of positive integer factors of 7970 that divides 7970 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,797,1594,3985,7970
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3511,7970 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3511,7970 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 501,290
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 145290
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/145290
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3511/501,7970/290 is 1/145290
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 501,290 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(501,290) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(501,290) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(501,290) = ( 501 × 290 ) / 1
LCM(501,290) = 145290 / 1
LCM(501,290) = 145290
