Factors of 142
List of positive integer factors of 142 that divides 142 without a remainder.
1,2,71,142
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 304,142 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 304,142 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 1875,8641
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 16201875
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/16201875
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 304/1875,142/8641 is 2/16201875
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 1875,8641 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(1875,8641) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(1875,8641) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(1875,8641) = ( 1875 × 8641 ) / 1
LCM(1875,8641) = 16201875 / 1
LCM(1875,8641) = 16201875
