Factors of 2197
List of positive integer factors of 2197 that divides 2197 without a remainder.
1,13,169,2197
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8977,2197 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8977,2197 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 86,144
2 | 86, 144 |
43, 72 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 43 x 72 = 6192
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6192
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8977/86,2197/144 is 1/6192
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 86,144 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(86,144) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(86,144) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(86,144) = ( 86 × 144 ) / 2
LCM(86,144) = 12384 / 2
LCM(86,144) = 6192
