Factors of 3714
List of positive integer factors of 3714 that divides 3714 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,619,1238,1857,3714
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 938,3714 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 938,3714 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 61,317
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 19337
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/19337
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 938/61,3714/317 is 2/19337
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 61,317 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(61,317) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(61,317) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(61,317) = ( 61 × 317 ) / 1
LCM(61,317) = 19337 / 1
LCM(61,317) = 19337
