List of positive integer factors of 3738 that divides 3738 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,7,14,21,42,89,178,267,534,623,1246,1869,3738
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4649,3738 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4649,3738 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 178,301
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 53578
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/53578
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4649/178,3738/301 is 1/53578
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 178,301 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(178,301) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(178,301) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(178,301) = ( 178 × 301 ) / 1
LCM(178,301) = 53578 / 1
LCM(178,301) = 53578
