1,29,241,6989
Factors of 4492
List of positive integer factors of 4492 that divides 4492 without a remainder.
1,2,4,1123,2246,4492
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6989,4492 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6989,4492 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 972,715
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 694980
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/694980
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6989/972,4492/715 is 1/694980
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 972,715 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(972,715) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(972,715) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(972,715) = ( 972 × 715 ) / 1
LCM(972,715) = 694980 / 1
LCM(972,715) = 694980
