Now, list down the factors of 7040
:1,2,4,5,8,10,11,16,20,22,32,40,44,55,64,80,88,110,128,160,176,220,320,352,440,640,704,880,1408,1760,3520,7040
Now, list down the factors of 1997
:1,1997
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7040,1997 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7040,1997 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 246,263
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 64698
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/64698
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7040/246,1997/263 is 1/64698
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 246,263 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(246,263) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(246,263) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(246,263) = ( 246 × 263 ) / 1
LCM(246,263) = 64698 / 1
LCM(246,263) = 64698
