Factors of 2374
List of positive integer factors of 2374 that divides 2374 without a remainder.
1,2,1187,2374
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5416,2374 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5416,2374 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,946
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 38786
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/38786
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5416/41,2374/946 is 2/38786
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 41,946 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,946) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(41,946) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(41,946) = ( 41 × 946 ) / 1
LCM(41,946) = 38786 / 1
LCM(41,946) = 38786
