So the greatest common factor 214,4672 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 440,401
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 176440
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/176440
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 214/440,4672/401 is 2/176440
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 440,401 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(440,401) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(440,401) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(440,401) = ( 440 × 401 ) / 1
LCM(440,401) = 176440 / 1
LCM(440,401) = 176440
