Factors of 8707
List of positive integer factors of 8707 that divides 8707 without a remainder.
1,8707
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 744,8707 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 744,8707 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 159,734
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 116706
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/116706
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 744/159,8707/734 is 1/116706
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 159,734 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(159,734) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(159,734) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(159,734) = ( 159 × 734 ) / 1
LCM(159,734) = 116706 / 1
LCM(159,734) = 116706
