Lets's calculate LCM of 214,5629
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1204606
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1204606
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1272/214,3950/5629 is 2/1204606
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 214,5629 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(214,5629) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(214,5629) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(214,5629) = ( 214 × 5629 ) / 1
LCM(214,5629) = 1204606 / 1
LCM(214,5629) = 1204606
