Factors of 1397
List of positive integer factors of 1397 that divides 1397 without a remainder.
1,11,127,1397
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 894,1397 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 894,1397 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 952,172
2 | 952, 172 |
2 | 476, 86 |
238, 43 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 238 x 43 = 40936
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/40936
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 894/952,1397/172 is 1/40936
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 952,172 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(952,172) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(952,172) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(952,172) = ( 952 × 172 ) / 4
LCM(952,172) = 163744 / 4
LCM(952,172) = 40936
