1,3,1327,3981
Factors of 4974
List of positive integer factors of 4974 that divides 4974 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,829,1658,2487,4974
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3981,4974 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3981,4974 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 318,707
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 224826
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/224826
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3981/318,4974/707 is 3/224826
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 318,707 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(318,707) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(318,707) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(318,707) = ( 318 × 707 ) / 1
LCM(318,707) = 224826 / 1
LCM(318,707) = 224826
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
