Factors of 1037
List of positive integer factors of 1037 that divides 1037 without a remainder.
1,17,61,1037
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4901,1037 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4901,1037 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 238,966
2 | 238, 966 |
7 | 119, 483 |
17, 69 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 17 x 69 = 16422
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/16422
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4901/238,1037/966 is 1/16422
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 238,966 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(238,966) = 14
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(238,966) x common factors =14 x 1 = 14
LCM(238,966) = ( 238 × 966 ) / 14
LCM(238,966) = 229908 / 14
LCM(238,966) = 16422
