:1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,16,18,24,32,36,48,64,72,96,144,192,288,576
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 843,576 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 843,576 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 17,148
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2516
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/2516
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 843/17,576/148 is 3/2516
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 17,148 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(17,148) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(17,148) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(17,148) = ( 17 × 148 ) / 1
LCM(17,148) = 2516 / 1
LCM(17,148) = 2516
