List of positive integer factors of 791 that divides 791 without a remainder.
1,7,113,791
Factors of 9199
List of positive integer factors of 9199 that divides 9199 without a remainder.
1,9199
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 791,9199 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 791,9199 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 74,972
2 | 74, 972 |
37, 486 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 37 x 486 = 35964
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/35964
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 791/74,9199/972 is 1/35964
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 74,972 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(74,972) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(74,972) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(74,972) = ( 74 × 972 ) / 2
LCM(74,972) = 71928 / 2
LCM(74,972) = 35964
