Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1743,8400 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1743,8400 is 21.
Lets's calculate LCM of 186,173
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 32178
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 21/32178
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1743/186,8400/173 is 21/32178
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 186,173 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(186,173) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(186,173) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(186,173) = ( 186 × 173 ) / 1
LCM(186,173) = 32178 / 1
LCM(186,173) = 32178
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
