1,3,9,19,57,171
Factors of 6873
List of positive integer factors of 6873 that divides 6873 without a remainder.
1,3,29,79,87,237,2291,6873
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 171,6873 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 171,6873 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 401,9110
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3653110
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/3653110
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 171/401,6873/9110 is 3/3653110
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 401,9110 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(401,9110) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(401,9110) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(401,9110) = ( 401 × 9110 ) / 1
LCM(401,9110) = 3653110 / 1
LCM(401,9110) = 3653110
