Factors of 7971
List of positive integer factors of 7971 that divides 7971 without a remainder.
1,3,2657,7971
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4142,7971 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4142,7971 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 755,996
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 751980
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/751980
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4142/755,7971/996 is 1/751980
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 755,996 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(755,996) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(755,996) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(755,996) = ( 755 × 996 ) / 1
LCM(755,996) = 751980 / 1
LCM(755,996) = 751980
