:1,2,7,11,14,22,77,121,154,242,847,1694
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8604,1694 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8604,1694 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 873,851
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 742923
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/742923
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8604/873,1694/851 is 2/742923
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 873,851 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(873,851) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(873,851) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(873,851) = ( 873 × 851 ) / 1
LCM(873,851) = 742923 / 1
LCM(873,851) = 742923
