We found the factors 6873,1269 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6873,1269 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 688,165
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 113520
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/113520
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6873/688,1269/165 is 3/113520
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 688,165 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(688,165) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(688,165) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(688,165) = ( 688 × 165 ) / 1
LCM(688,165) = 113520 / 1
LCM(688,165) = 113520
