List of positive integer factors of 3713 that divides 3713 without a remainder.
1,47,79,3713
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 549,3713 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 549,3713 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 340,520
2 | 340, 520 |
2 | 170, 260 |
5 | 85, 130 |
17, 26 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 17 x 26 = 8840
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/8840
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 549/340,3713/520 is 1/8840
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 340,520 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(340,520) = 20
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(340,520) x common factors =20 x 1 = 20
LCM(340,520) = ( 340 × 520 ) / 20
LCM(340,520) = 176800 / 20
LCM(340,520) = 8840
