:1,5,7,25,35,125,175,875
Now, list down the factors of 6000
:1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,15,16,20,24,25,30,40,48,50,60,75,80,100,120,125,150,200,240,250,300,375,400,500,600,750,1000,1200,1500,2000,3000,6000
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 875,6000 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 875,6000 is 125.
Lets's calculate LCM of 173,521
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 90133
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 125/90133
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 875/173,6000/521 is 125/90133
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 173,521 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(173,521) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(173,521) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(173,521) = ( 173 × 521 ) / 1
LCM(173,521) = 90133 / 1
LCM(173,521) = 90133
