List of positive integer factors of 2437 that divides 2437 without a remainder.
1,2437
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7318,2437 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7318,2437 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 501,2931
3 | 501, 2931 |
167, 977 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 167 x 977 = 489477
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/489477
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7318/501,2437/2931 is 1/489477
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 501,2931 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(501,2931) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(501,2931) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(501,2931) = ( 501 × 2931 ) / 3
LCM(501,2931) = 1468431 / 3
LCM(501,2931) = 489477
