Greatest Common Factor

We found the factors 993,261 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 993,261 is 3.

Lets's calculate LCM of 84,2664

2 84, 2664
2 42, 1332
3 21, 666
7, 222

∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 222 = 18648

Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/18648

Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 993/84,261/2664 is 3/18648

Least Common Multiple of 84,2664 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 84,2664 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 84,2664 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(84,2664) = 12

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

GCF(84,2664) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12

LCM(84,2664) = ( 84 × 2664 ) / 12

LCM(84,2664) = 223776 / 12

LCM(84,2664) = 18648
