So the greatest common factor 214,896 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 940,521
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 489740
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/489740
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 214/940,896/521 is 2/489740
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 940,521 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(940,521) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(940,521) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(940,521) = ( 940 × 521 ) / 1
LCM(940,521) = 489740 / 1
LCM(940,521) = 489740
