1,2,3,6,11,22,33,66,121,242,363,726
Factors of 1837
List of positive integer factors of 1837 that divides 1837 without a remainder.
1,11,167,1837
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 726,1837 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 726,1837 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 392,965
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 378280
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/378280
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 726/392,1837/965 is 11/378280
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 392,965 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(392,965) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(392,965) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(392,965) = ( 392 × 965 ) / 1
LCM(392,965) = 378280 / 1
LCM(392,965) = 378280
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
