Lets's calculate LCM of 217,8749
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1898533
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 32/1898533
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1472/217,9952/8749 is 32/1898533
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 217,8749 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(217,8749) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(217,8749) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(217,8749) = ( 217 × 8749 ) / 1
LCM(217,8749) = 1898533 / 1
LCM(217,8749) = 1898533
