Factors of 1427
List of positive integer factors of 1427 that divides 1427 without a remainder.
1,1427
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8336,1427 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8336,1427 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,734
2 | 42, 734 |
21, 367 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 21 x 367 = 15414
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/15414
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8336/42,1427/734 is 1/15414
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 42,734 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,734) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,734) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(42,734) = ( 42 × 734 ) / 2
LCM(42,734) = 30828 / 2
LCM(42,734) = 15414
