Factors of 6787
List of positive integer factors of 6787 that divides 6787 without a remainder.
1,11,617,6787
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 972,6787 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 972,6787 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 186,607
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 112902
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/112902
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 972/186,6787/607 is 1/112902
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 186,607 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(186,607) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(186,607) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(186,607) = ( 186 × 607 ) / 1
LCM(186,607) = 112902 / 1
LCM(186,607) = 112902
