Factors of 3694
List of positive integer factors of 3694 that divides 3694 without a remainder.
1,2,1847,3694
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 974,3694 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 974,3694 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 363,661
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 239943
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/239943
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 974/363,3694/661 is 2/239943
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 363,661 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(363,661) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(363,661) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(363,661) = ( 363 × 661 ) / 1
LCM(363,661) = 239943 / 1
LCM(363,661) = 239943
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
