1,3011
Factors of 2942
List of positive integer factors of 2942 that divides 2942 without a remainder.
1,2,1471,2942
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3011,2942 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3011,2942 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 158,3123
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 493434
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/493434
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3011/158,2942/3123 is 1/493434
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 158,3123 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(158,3123) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(158,3123) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(158,3123) = ( 158 × 3123 ) / 1
LCM(158,3123) = 493434 / 1
LCM(158,3123) = 493434
