List of positive integer factors of 2462 that divides 2462 without a remainder.
1,2,1231,2462
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 420,2462 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 420,2462 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 602,667
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 401534
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/401534
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 420/602,2462/667 is 2/401534
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 602,667 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(602,667) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(602,667) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(602,667) = ( 602 × 667 ) / 1
LCM(602,667) = 401534 / 1
LCM(602,667) = 401534
