Lowest Common Multiple of 17,38,33 using Common Division

Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 21318

Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/21318

Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 23/17,53/38,971/33 is 1/21318

Least Common Multiple of 17,38,33 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a₁,a₂,a₃....,a_n) = ( a₁ × a₂ × a₃ × .... × a_n) / GCF(a₁,a₂,a₃....,a_n) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).

We need to calculate greatest common factor of 17,38,33 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(17,38,33) = 1

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

GCF(17,38,33) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1

LCM(17,38,33) = ( 17 × 38 × 33 ) / 1

LCM(17,38,33) = 21318 / 1

LCM(17,38,33) = 21318
