Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7973,6953 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7973,6953 is 17.
Lets's calculate LCM of 621,340
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 211140
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/211140
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7973/621,6953/340 is 17/211140
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 621,340 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(621,340) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(621,340) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(621,340) = ( 621 × 340 ) / 1
LCM(621,340) = 211140 / 1
LCM(621,340) = 211140
