:1,2,3,6,9,18,27,54,61,81,122,162,183,366,549,1098,1647,3294,4941,9882
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8688,9882 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8688,9882 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 13,921
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 11973
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/11973
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8688/13,9882/921 is 6/11973
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 13,921 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(13,921) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(13,921) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(13,921) = ( 13 × 921 ) / 1
LCM(13,921) = 11973 / 1
LCM(13,921) = 11973
