So the greatest common factor 216,873 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 388,213
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 82644
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/82644
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 216/388,873/213 is 9/82644
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 388,213 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(388,213) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(388,213) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(388,213) = ( 388 × 213 ) / 1
LCM(388,213) = 82644 / 1
LCM(388,213) = 82644
