Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1695,8427 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1695,8427 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,873
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 17460
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/17460
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1695/20,8427/873 is 3/17460
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 20,873 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,873) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(20,873) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(20,873) = ( 20 × 873 ) / 1
LCM(20,873) = 17460 / 1
LCM(20,873) = 17460
