Factors of 3737
List of positive integer factors of 3737 that divides 3737 without a remainder.
1,37,101,3737
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5266,3737 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5266,3737 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 75,491
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 36825
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/36825
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5266/75,3737/491 is 1/36825
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 75,491 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(75,491) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(75,491) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(75,491) = ( 75 × 491 ) / 1
LCM(75,491) = 36825 / 1
LCM(75,491) = 36825
