Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3384,5601 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3384,5601 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 851,9973
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8487023
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/8487023
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3384/851,5601/9973 is 3/8487023
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 851,9973 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(851,9973) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(851,9973) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(851,9973) = ( 851 × 9973 ) / 1
LCM(851,9973) = 8487023 / 1
LCM(851,9973) = 8487023
