Factors of 974
List of positive integer factors of 974 that divides 974 without a remainder.
1,2,487,974
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 552,974 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 552,974 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 485,968
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 469480
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/469480
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 552/485,974/968 is 2/469480
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 485,968 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(485,968) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(485,968) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(485,968) = ( 485 × 968 ) / 1
LCM(485,968) = 469480 / 1
LCM(485,968) = 469480
