Factors of 737
List of positive integer factors of 737 that divides 737 without a remainder.
1,11,67,737
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 616,737 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 616,737 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 737,298
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 219626
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/219626
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 616/737,737/298 is 11/219626
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 737,298 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(737,298) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(737,298) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(737,298) = ( 737 × 298 ) / 1
LCM(737,298) = 219626 / 1
LCM(737,298) = 219626
