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 728,974 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 728,974 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 78,595
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 46410
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/46410
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 728/78,974/595 is 2/46410
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 78,595 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,595) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(78,595) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(78,595) = ( 78 × 595 ) / 1
LCM(78,595) = 46410 / 1
LCM(78,595) = 46410
