Factors of 7834
List of positive integer factors of 7834 that divides 7834 without a remainder.
1,2,3917,7834
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 508,7834 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 508,7834 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 982,537
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 527334
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/527334
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 508/982,7834/537 is 2/527334
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 982,537 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(982,537) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(982,537) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(982,537) = ( 982 × 537 ) / 1
LCM(982,537) = 527334 / 1
LCM(982,537) = 527334
