1,2,13,26,269,538,3497,6994
Factors of 4702
List of positive integer factors of 4702 that divides 4702 without a remainder.
1,2,2351,4702
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6994,4702 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6994,4702 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,647
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 23292
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/23292
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6994/36,4702/647 is 2/23292
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 36,647 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,647) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(36,647) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(36,647) = ( 36 × 647 ) / 1
LCM(36,647) = 23292 / 1
LCM(36,647) = 23292
