So the greatest common factor 216,214 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 284,373
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 105932
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/105932
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 216/284,214/373 is 2/105932
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 284,373 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(284,373) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(284,373) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(284,373) = ( 284 × 373 ) / 1
LCM(284,373) = 105932 / 1
LCM(284,373) = 105932
