We found the factors 894,5655 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 894,5655 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 17,387
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6579
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/6579
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 894/17,5655/387 is 3/6579
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 17,387 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(17,387) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(17,387) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(17,387) = ( 17 × 387 ) / 1
LCM(17,387) = 6579 / 1
LCM(17,387) = 6579
