Factors of 1502
List of positive integer factors of 1502 that divides 1502 without a remainder.
1,2,751,1502
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 514,1502 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 514,1502 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 422,682
2 | 422, 682 |
211, 341 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 211 x 341 = 143902
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/143902
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 514/422,1502/682 is 2/143902
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 422,682 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(422,682) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(422,682) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(422,682) = ( 422 × 682 ) / 2
LCM(422,682) = 287804 / 2
LCM(422,682) = 143902
