Factors of 2978
List of positive integer factors of 2978 that divides 2978 without a remainder.
1,2,1489,2978
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 469,2978 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 469,2978 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 272,462
2 | 272, 462 |
136, 231 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 136 x 231 = 62832
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/62832
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 469/272,2978/462 is 1/62832
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 272,462 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(272,462) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(272,462) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(272,462) = ( 272 × 462 ) / 2
LCM(272,462) = 125664 / 2
LCM(272,462) = 62832
