The HCF of 173,996 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 173,996
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 173
:1,173
Now, list down the factors of 996
:1,2,3,4,6,12,83,166,249,332,498,996
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 173,996 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 173,996 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 74,3793
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 280682
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/280682
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 173/74,996/3793 is 1/280682
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 74,3793 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(74,3793) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(74,3793) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(74,3793) = ( 74 × 3793 ) / 1
LCM(74,3793) = 280682 / 1
LCM(74,3793) = 280682
