Factors of 1242
List of positive integer factors of 1242 that divides 1242 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,18,23,27,46,54,69,138,207,414,621,1242
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 350,1242 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 350,1242 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 400,577
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 230800
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/230800
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 350/400,1242/577 is 2/230800
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 400,577 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(400,577) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(400,577) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(400,577) = ( 400 × 577 ) / 1
LCM(400,577) = 230800 / 1
LCM(400,577) = 230800
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
