Factors of 2846
List of positive integer factors of 2846 that divides 2846 without a remainder.
1,2,1423,2846
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3830,2846 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3830,2846 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,224
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8288
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/8288
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3830/37,2846/224 is 2/8288
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 37,224 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,224) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(37,224) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(37,224) = ( 37 × 224 ) / 1
LCM(37,224) = 8288 / 1
LCM(37,224) = 8288
