:1,173
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 865,173 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 865,173 is 173.
Lets's calculate LCM of 29,963
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 27927
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 173/27927
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 865/29,173/963 is 173/27927
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 29,963 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(29,963) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(29,963) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(29,963) = ( 29 × 963 ) / 1
LCM(29,963) = 27927 / 1
LCM(29,963) = 27927
