1,3,229,687
Factors of 3137
List of positive integer factors of 3137 that divides 3137 without a remainder.
1,3137
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 687,3137 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 687,3137 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 424,6993
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2965032
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2965032
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 687/424,3137/6993 is 1/2965032
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 424,6993 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(424,6993) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(424,6993) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(424,6993) = ( 424 × 6993 ) / 1
LCM(424,6993) = 2965032 / 1
LCM(424,6993) = 2965032
