1,797
Factors of 3521
List of positive integer factors of 3521 that divides 3521 without a remainder.
1,7,503,3521
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 797,3521 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 797,3521 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 742,2985
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2214870
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2214870
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 797/742,3521/2985 is 1/2214870
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 742,2985 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(742,2985) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(742,2985) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(742,2985) = ( 742 × 2985 ) / 1
LCM(742,2985) = 2214870 / 1
LCM(742,2985) = 2214870
