So the greatest common factor 1662,2154 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 214,436
2 | 214, 436 |
107, 218 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 107 x 218 = 46652
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/46652
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1662/214,2154/436 is 6/46652
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 214,436 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(214,436) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(214,436) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(214,436) = ( 214 × 436 ) / 2
LCM(214,436) = 93304 / 2
LCM(214,436) = 46652
