Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 333,840 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 333,840 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 17,6583
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 111911
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/111911
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 333/17,840/6583 is 3/111911
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 17,6583 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(17,6583) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(17,6583) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(17,6583) = ( 17 × 6583 ) / 1
LCM(17,6583) = 111911 / 1
LCM(17,6583) = 111911
