Factors of 2974
List of positive integer factors of 2974 that divides 2974 without a remainder.
1,2,1487,2974
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2574,2974 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2574,2974 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 130,3541
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 460330
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/460330
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2574/130,2974/3541 is 2/460330
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 130,3541 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(130,3541) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(130,3541) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(130,3541) = ( 130 × 3541 ) / 1
LCM(130,3541) = 460330 / 1
LCM(130,3541) = 460330
