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 84,974 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 84,974 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 936,372
2 | 936, 372 |
2 | 468, 186 |
3 | 234, 93 |
78, 31 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 78 x 31 = 29016
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/29016
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 84/936,974/372 is 2/29016
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 936,372 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(936,372) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(936,372) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(936,372) = ( 936 × 372 ) / 12
LCM(936,372) = 348192 / 12
LCM(936,372) = 29016
