So the greatest common factor 212,924 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 522,721
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 376362
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/376362
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 212/522,924/721 is 4/376362
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 522,721 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(522,721) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(522,721) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(522,721) = ( 522 × 721 ) / 1
LCM(522,721) = 376362 / 1
LCM(522,721) = 376362
