1,2,373,746
Factors of 2818
List of positive integer factors of 2818 that divides 2818 without a remainder.
1,2,1409,2818
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 746,2818 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 746,2818 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 947,701
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 663847
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/663847
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 746/947,2818/701 is 2/663847
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 947,701 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(947,701) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(947,701) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(947,701) = ( 947 × 701 ) / 1
LCM(947,701) = 663847 / 1
LCM(947,701) = 663847
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
