1,3,71,213
Factors of 2962
List of positive integer factors of 2962 that divides 2962 without a remainder.
1,2,1481,2962
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 213,2962 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 213,2962 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 550,938
2 | 550, 938 |
275, 469 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 275 x 469 = 257950
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/257950
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 213/550,2962/938 is 1/257950
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 550,938 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(550,938) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(550,938) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(550,938) = ( 550 × 938 ) / 2
LCM(550,938) = 515900 / 2
LCM(550,938) = 257950
