Factors of 2942
List of positive integer factors of 2942 that divides 2942 without a remainder.
1,2,1471,2942
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 467,2942 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 467,2942 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 86,352
2 | 86, 352 |
43, 176 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 43 x 176 = 15136
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/15136
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 467/86,2942/352 is 1/15136
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 86,352 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(86,352) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(86,352) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(86,352) = ( 86 × 352 ) / 2
LCM(86,352) = 30272 / 2
LCM(86,352) = 15136
