1,7,571,3997
Factors of 2863
List of positive integer factors of 2863 that divides 2863 without a remainder.
1,7,409,2863
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3997,2863 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3997,2863 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 497,1013
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 503461
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/503461
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3997/497,2863/1013 is 7/503461
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 497,1013 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(497,1013) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(497,1013) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(497,1013) = ( 497 × 1013 ) / 1
LCM(497,1013) = 503461 / 1
LCM(497,1013) = 503461
