Factors of 3437
List of positive integer factors of 3437 that divides 3437 without a remainder.
1,7,491,3437
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 981,3437 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 981,3437 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 546,143
13 | 546, 143 |
42, 11 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 13 x 42 x 11 = 6006
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6006
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 981/546,3437/143 is 1/6006
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 546,143 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(546,143) = 13
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(546,143) x common factors =13 x 1 = 13
LCM(546,143) = ( 546 × 143 ) / 13
LCM(546,143) = 78078 / 13
LCM(546,143) = 6006
