So the greatest common factor 212,817 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 662,496
2 | 662, 496 |
331, 248 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 331 x 248 = 164176
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/164176
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 212/662,817/496 is 1/164176
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 662,496 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(662,496) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(662,496) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(662,496) = ( 662 × 496 ) / 2
LCM(662,496) = 328352 / 2
LCM(662,496) = 164176
