Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8547,6216 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8547,6216 is 777.
Lets's calculate LCM of 17,398
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6766
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 777/6766
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8547/17,6216/398 is 777/6766
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 17,398 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(17,398) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(17,398) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(17,398) = ( 17 × 398 ) / 1
LCM(17,398) = 6766 / 1
LCM(17,398) = 6766
