List of positive integer factors of 9721 that divides 9721 without a remainder.
1,9721
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3997,9721 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3997,9721 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 126,742
2 | 126, 742 |
7 | 63, 371 |
9, 53 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 9 x 53 = 6678
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6678
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3997/126,9721/742 is 1/6678
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 126,742 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(126,742) = 14
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(126,742) x common factors =14 x 1 = 14
LCM(126,742) = ( 126 × 742 ) / 14
LCM(126,742) = 93492 / 14
LCM(126,742) = 6678
