Lets's calculate LCM of 217,6439
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1397263
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/1397263
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2012/217,4224/6439 is 4/1397263
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 217,6439 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(217,6439) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(217,6439) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(217,6439) = ( 217 × 6439 ) / 1
LCM(217,6439) = 1397263 / 1
LCM(217,6439) = 1397263
