1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,18,24,36,72
Factors of 6863
List of positive integer factors of 6863 that divides 6863 without a remainder.
1,6863
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 72,6863 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 72,6863 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 847,8042
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6811574
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6811574
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 72/847,6863/8042 is 1/6811574
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 847,8042 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(847,8042) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(847,8042) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(847,8042) = ( 847 × 8042 ) / 1
LCM(847,8042) = 6811574 / 1
LCM(847,8042) = 6811574
