Factors of 1142
List of positive integer factors of 1142 that divides 1142 without a remainder.
1,2,571,1142
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 335,1142 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 335,1142 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 576,612
2 | 576, 612 |
2 | 288, 306 |
3 | 144, 153 |
3 | 48, 51 |
16, 17 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 16 x 17 = 9792
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/9792
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 335/576,1142/612 is 1/9792
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 576,612 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(576,612) = 36
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(576,612) x common factors =36 x 1 = 36
LCM(576,612) = ( 576 × 612 ) / 36
LCM(576,612) = 352512 / 36
LCM(576,612) = 9792
