1,5,103,515
Factors of 2472
List of positive integer factors of 2472 that divides 2472 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24,103,206,309,412,618,824,1236,2472
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 515,2472 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 515,2472 is 103.
Lets's calculate LCM of 632,299
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 188968
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 103/188968
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 515/632,2472/299 is 103/188968
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 632,299 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(632,299) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(632,299) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(632,299) = ( 632 × 299 ) / 1
LCM(632,299) = 188968 / 1
LCM(632,299) = 188968
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
