1,7,139,973
Factors of 3163
List of positive integer factors of 3163 that divides 3163 without a remainder.
1,3163
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 973,3163 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 973,3163 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 427,8606
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3674762
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3674762
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 973/427,3163/8606 is 1/3674762
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 427,8606 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(427,8606) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(427,8606) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(427,8606) = ( 427 × 8606 ) / 1
LCM(427,8606) = 3674762 / 1
LCM(427,8606) = 3674762
