Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1616,1640 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1616,1640 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 214,8873
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1898822
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/1898822
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1616/214,1640/8873 is 8/1898822
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 214,8873 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(214,8873) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(214,8873) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(214,8873) = ( 214 × 8873 ) / 1
LCM(214,8873) = 1898822 / 1
LCM(214,8873) = 1898822
