Lets's calculate LCM of 77,214
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 16478
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/16478
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 208/77,374/214 is 2/16478
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 77,214 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(77,214) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(77,214) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(77,214) = ( 77 × 214 ) / 1
LCM(77,214) = 16478 / 1
LCM(77,214) = 16478
