Factors of 537
List of positive integer factors of 537 that divides 537 without a remainder.
1,3,179,537
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 795,537 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 795,537 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 77,2246
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 172942
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/172942
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 795/77,537/2246 is 3/172942
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 77,2246 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(77,2246) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(77,2246) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(77,2246) = ( 77 × 2246 ) / 1
LCM(77,2246) = 172942 / 1
LCM(77,2246) = 172942
