Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 959,877 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 959,877 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,761
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 12176
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/12176
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 959/16,877/761 is 1/12176
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 16,761 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,761) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(16,761) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(16,761) = ( 16 × 761 ) / 1
LCM(16,761) = 12176 / 1
LCM(16,761) = 12176
