Factors of 3977
List of positive integer factors of 3977 that divides 3977 without a remainder.
1,41,97,3977
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 729,3977 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 729,3977 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 859,1748
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1501532
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1501532
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 729/859,3977/1748 is 1/1501532
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 859,1748 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(859,1748) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(859,1748) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(859,1748) = ( 859 × 1748 ) / 1
LCM(859,1748) = 1501532 / 1
LCM(859,1748) = 1501532
