Lets's calculate LCM of 17,401

Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6817

Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6817

Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 255/17,979/401 is 1/6817

Least Common Multiple of 17,401 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 17,401 with GCF Formula

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 17,401 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(17,401) = 1

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1

GCF(17,401) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1

LCM(17,401) = ( 17 × 401 ) / 1

LCM(17,401) = 6817 / 1

LCM(17,401) = 6817
