Factors of 2972
List of positive integer factors of 2972 that divides 2972 without a remainder.
1,2,4,743,1486,2972
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8976,2972 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8976,2972 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 47,365
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 17155
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/17155
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8976/47,2972/365 is 4/17155
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 47,365 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(47,365) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(47,365) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(47,365) = ( 47 × 365 ) / 1
LCM(47,365) = 17155 / 1
LCM(47,365) = 17155
