So the greatest common factor 213,1012 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 188,138
2 | 188, 138 |
94, 69 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 94 x 69 = 12972
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/12972
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 213/188,1012/138 is 1/12972
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 188,138 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(188,138) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(188,138) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(188,138) = ( 188 × 138 ) / 2
LCM(188,138) = 25944 / 2
LCM(188,138) = 12972
