List of positive integer factors of 7163 that divides 7163 without a remainder.
1,13,19,29,247,377,551,7163
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9997,7163 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9997,7163 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 74,531
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 39294
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/39294
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9997/74,7163/531 is 13/39294
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 74,531 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(74,531) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(74,531) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(74,531) = ( 74 × 531 ) / 1
LCM(74,531) = 39294 / 1
LCM(74,531) = 39294
